Mertvye dushi

Nikolaj Vasil′evich Gogol′ (1809-1852) - velikij russkij pisatel′, sozdatel′ osobogo, nepovtorimogo stilya v literature. Talant Gogolya proyavlyaetsya vo vsech ego proizvedeniyach po-raznomu - to porazhaet chitatelya bogatstvom yazyka i ukrainskim koloritom, kak v Vecherach na chutore bliz Dikan′ki, to uvlekaet fantastikoj peterburgskich povestej, to vyzyvaet smech, kak v Revizore i Mertvych dushach.
