"Taras Bulba" is a short historical novel by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol from the series "Mirgorod".
The plot of the novel concerns the history of Zaporozhian Cossacks. The main character is Taras Buljba, an old Cossack, who, with his sons Andrija and Ostap, sets out to fight against the Polish nobility and defend Orthodoxy.
Dead Souls (1842) is a brilliant satire that exposes the moral and social rot of imperial Russia through Chichikov's fraud with dead serfs, with Gogol's virtuoso mix of humor, irony and lyricism.
The first volume of Pushkin's selected works brings dramatic images and poems: from scenes from Faust and Mozart and Salieri to The Bronze Horseman and Poltava, combining drama, lyricism and history.
