Comment on Nikolai Gogol (Russian)

famous book

The representative work "Dead Soul" by Russian writer Nikolai Nikolai Gogol is the cornerstone of the development of Russian critical realism literature and the peak of Nikolai Nikolai Gogol's realistic creation. Belinsky spoke highly of it as "an epoch-making masterpiece of Russian literature", "above all the works of Russian literature in the past and present" and "both national and highly artistic".

The novel describes the story of a liar-a sixth-class civil servant begging for money to buy and sell dead souls. Chikov spent more than a week, when he came to a city, he got through the official relationship from the governor to the construction technician, and then went to the suburbs to buy the serfs who had died but did not cancel their accounts, and prepared to mortgage them to the supervision Committee as living serfs to defraud large deposits. He visited one landlord after another and bought a lot of dead souls after fierce bargaining. When he happily completed the legal transaction formalities quickly with the relationship he had opened, his evil deeds were exposed, and the prosecutor was scared to death by rumors and had to flee hastily for help.

The publication of "Dead Soul" shocked the whole of Russia. In the author's sharp pen, the tragic situation of all kinds of greedy and ignorant landlords, corrupt officials and serfs was exposed incisively and vividly. Therefore, with its profound ideological content, distinctive critical tendency and great artistic strength, it has become a masterpiece of Russian critical realism literature and a model of Russian literature and world literary satire.

Author style

Nikolai Nikolai Gogol (1809- 1852) is the founder of Russian critical realism literature and is called "the father of Russian prose" by Chernyshevski. He was born into a less wealthy landlord family in Ukraine. He lived in the first half of the19th century, which was the period when Russian serfdom collapsed and capitalist relations of production developed. His creative career began at 1830, and the first collection of romance novels, Nights in Rural Dikangka, attracted the attention of progressive literary circles at that time. 1835 published novellas "Milgler" and "The Story of Petersburg", which brought fame to the author. Among the works describing the tragic fate of "little people", Diary of a Madman and Coat are the most representative. 1836, the satirical comedy "An Imperial Envoy" was published, which, by realistic means, profoundly and mercilessly exposed the ugly face of the bureaucratic group, and achieved amazing success. The Dead Soul published by 1842 satirizes and exposes the greed and cruelty of the landlord class, and depicts an ugly and decadent picture of autocratic serfdom.
