Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol is one of the most mysterious and enigmatic Russian writers. In this book, the well-known literary critic and historian Boris Sokolov, author of the bestseller 'Deciphered Dostoevsky,' reveals the secrets of Gogol's major works. How do the images of 'Viya' relate to the world demonological tradition? What in the novella 'Taras Bulba' corresponds to historical truth, and what is artistic invention? What is the infernal foundation of 'The Inspector General' and 'Dead Souls,' and which of Gogol's contemporaries served as prototypes for the characters in these works? What did Gogol want to write about in the second volume of 'Dead Souls,' and why couldn't he finish his great work? Perhaps he foresaw the fate of Russia? These and other questions will be answered in the book 'Deciphered Gogol.'
