Krátky popis
Gogol's classic, uproarious folktale, presented in a beautiful
hardcover edition perfect for giving as a gift. Written in 1831,
this dark tale relates the adventures of Vakula, the blacksmith, in
his fight against the devil, who has stolen the moon above the
village of Dikanka and is wreaking havoc on its inhabitants, all to
win the love of the most beautiful girl in town. The basis for many
film and opera adaptations, and still a story traditionally read
aloud to children on Christmas Eve in Ukraine and Russia, The Night
Before Christmas is the best holiday tale by the man whom Vladimir
Nabokov called 'the greatest writer Russia has yet
produced'.Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was the son of a Ukrainian
gentleman farmer. He attended a variety of boarding schools, where
he proved an indifferent student but was admired for his theatrical
abilities. In 1828 he moved to St.Petersburg and began to publish
stories, and by the mid-1830s he had established himself in the
literary world and been warmly praised by Pushkin. In 1836, his
play The Inspector-General was attacked as immoral, and he left
Russia, remaining abroad for most of the next dozen years. During
that time he wrote two of his best-known stories, 'The Nose' and
'The Overcoat,' and in 1842 he published the first section of his
masterpiece Dead Souls.Gogol became increasingly religious as the
years passed, and in 1847 he became the disciple of an Orthodox
priest who influenced him to burn the second part of Dead Souls and
then abandon writing altogether. After undertaking an extreme fast,
he died at the age of forty-two.
