"Dead Souls" is a novel by Nikolai Gogol, first published in 1842 and widely regarded as an exemplar of 19th-century Russian literature. The novel presents the chronicles of the travels and adventures of Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov and the people he encounters. These people typify the Russian middle aristocracy of the time, which embodied pretentiousness, fake significance, and low morals, which was also hinted at in the novel's title.

The Inspector General is a play by Nikolai Gogol. It is known for its comedy of blunders, ridiculing human greed, foolishness, and the widespread political corruption of Imperial Russia.

Here is a collection of six nineteenth-century Russian short stories by the celebrated author Gogol (1809-1852) Nikolai Gogol, the Ukrainian-born writer is known as one of Russia's greatest authors. He is known for his works "The Overcoat" and "Dead Souls" but his greatest masterpiece, a continuation of "Dead Souls", was cut short by his tragic death.

"Cossak Tales" by the Ukraine-born writer Nicolai Gogol is a collection of folklore and legends about the lives and deeds of cossacks, the Ukrainian rebel formation that existed between the 14th and 18th centuries. The book was written less than a century after the Russian Empress Catherine the Great destroyed the last cossack formation. In those times, the people's memory kept the stories about bigger-than-life and mystical adventures of the folk heroes, which laid the basis for Gogol's book.

What does it mean to read one nation's literature in another language? The considerable popularity of Russian literature in the English-speaking world rests almost entirely upon translations. In The Translator and the Text, Rachel May analyzes Russian literature in English translation, seeing it less as a substitute for the original works than as a subset of English literature, with its own cultural, stylistic, and narrative traditions.

Philip Ross Bullock looks at the life and works of Rosa Newmarch (1857-1940), the leading authority on Russian music and culture in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England. Although Newmarch's work and influence are often acknowledged - most particularly by scholars of English poetry, and of the role of women in English music - the full range of her ideas and activities has yet to be studied. As an inveterate traveller, prolific author, and polyglot friend of some of Europe's leading musicians, such as Elgar, Sibelius and Jank, Newmarch deserves to be better appreciated. On the basis of both published and archival materials, the details of Newmarch's busy life are traced in an opening chapter, followed by an overview of English interest in Russian culture around the turn of the century, a period which saw a long-standing Russophobia (largely political and military) challenged by a more passionate and well-informed interest in the arts Three chapters then deal with the features that characterize Newmarch's engagement with Russian culture and society, and - more significantly perhaps - which she also championed in her native England; nationalism; the role of the intelligentsia; and feminism. In each case, Newmarch's interest in Russia was no mere instance of ethnographic curiosity; rather, her observations about and passion for Russia were translated into a commentary on the state of contemporary English cultural and social life. Her interest in nationalism was based on the conviction that each country deserved an art of its own. Her call for artists and intellectuals to play a vital role in the cultural and social life of the country illustrated how her Russian experiences could map onto the liberal values of Victorian England. And her feminism was linked to the idea that women could exercise roles of authority and influence in society through participation in the arts. A final chapter considers how her late interest in the music of Czechoslovakia pi
