Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol is the greatest Russian writer and playwright, whose work had a significant impact on Russian culture. “Gogol introduced new elements into our literature, gave rise to many imitators ... a new period of Russian literature begins with Gogol,” wrote V. G. Belinsky. This edition includes the poem "Dead Souls", as well as the plays "Inspector", "Marriage", "Players". Gogol's works are full of unexpected plot collisions and funny misunderstandings, but behind all this one can guess the sad seriousness of the author, a brilliant artist and a subtle researcher of "the secrets of the soul and heart of man." Puzzling over the mystery of Gogol's creative genius and the peculiarities of the national character, each new generation offers its own interpretations of his works - in research, on the theater stage, in films and illustrations. The book presents a series of illustrations by A. A. Agin and E. E. Bernardsky for the poem "Dead Souls", as well as illustrations by P. M. Boklevsky for Gogol's plays.
