Spiritual prose. Gogol N.V.

“My heart says that my book is needed and that it can be useful,” Gogol wrote in the preface to “The selected places from correspondence with friends” and was undoubtedly right.

“Spiritual prose” introduces the reader to a completely different Gogol - a deeply religious Christian and a wise philosopher, aive patriot and a brilliant literary critic, invariably adhered to - it doesn’t matter whether it was a question of literature, politics or art - conservative views In the best sense of the word.
