Taras Bulba. Gogol N.

The presentation of N.V. Gogol, who compiled his collection “Mirgorod”: “Old Svetsky landowners”, “Taras Bulba”, “Wii”, “The Tale of how Ivan Ivanovich with Ivan Nikiforovich” are printed in this publication. As the author himself indicated, the Mirgorod collection (1835) was an organic continuation of "Evenings on the Farm near Dikanka." "No, the time passed: not to see more of the Cossacks!" - exclaimed one of the storytellers back in "Evenings...". This thought is now becoming the main thing: a comparison of the legendary past and deprived of the heroism of the present is the basis of the composition of Mirgorod. Courage, adamant will, remarkable power and love for the Fatherland are the features of true heroes in Taras Bulba.
