Nikolaj Vasilevič Gogol Libros

Creador junto con Alexander Pushkin de la gran prosa rusa del siglo XIX que habría de prolongarse en Dostoyevski, Tolstoi y Chejov, NIKOLAI GOGOL (1809-1852) inició su brillante andadura literaris con los relatos que agrupó bajo el título genérico de VELADAS EN UN CASERÍO DE DIKANKA. Caracterizados por un constante entreveramiento entre lo real y lo fantástico propio del medio rural y campesino, en ellos podemos encontrar un encantador repertorio de narraciones impregnadas de la magia que se desprende de un mundo popular y primario por el que aún resulta natural que transiten brujas, demonis y espíritus. Otras obras de Gogol en esta colección: "Historias de San Petersburgo", "Almas muertas" y "El inspector".

The Overcoat which is generally acknowledged as the finest of Gogol's memorable Saint Petersburg stories, is a tale of the absurd and misplaced obsessions.
