Autorenporträt
Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol (1809-1852) was a preeminent Russian writer of Ukrainian origin, considered one of the most important figures of the 19th century Russian literature. Gogol's unique literary style fused a rich blend of realism, romanticism, and grotesque satire, which later influenced Russian writers, including Dostoevsky, and the absurdist tradition. He is best recognized for his novel 'Dead Souls,' a satirical expose of the corrupt social and moral fabric of Russian society during the age of serfdom. Initially published as 'Home Life in Russia, Volumes 1 and 2,' 'Dead Souls' employed the trope of a con man purchasing deceased serfs to critique the social and bureaucratic ills of the time. Furthermore, Gogol's short stories, such as 'The Overcoat' and 'The Nose,' exhibited his mastery of characterization and keen observation of the ordinary life, all within a fantastic and surreal narrative style. His works are celebrated for their vivid characterization, linguistic inventiveness, and profound societal insights. Gogol's legacy endures in his portrayal of the complexities of the human spirit and his biting social commentary, which continued to resonate in Russian literature and beyond.
