The book about Gogol by I.P.Zolotussky is by right considered to be classics of the biographic genre. The personality of the genius Russian writer, whose works we know since our school-days, is represented in a new way and acquires a truly epic scope. We can see not only the author of “The Government Inspector” and “Dead Souls”, but a thinker and a prophet, who was considered by his contemporaries to be very close to the true interpretation of Russia’s historical fortunes. The present edition preserves the original author’s text of the book, distorted in the first editions by the ideological censorship, inevitable for those times.
