Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol - great Russian writer, author immortal works"Inspector", "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka", "Taras Bulba", "Viy", " Dead Souls"and many others.
Nikolai Gogol was born on March 20, 1809 in the town of Velikie Sorochintsy, Mirgorodsky district, Poltava province, in the family of a poor landowner. He spent his childhood on the estate of his parents Vasilievka, near the village of Dikanka, the land of legends, beliefs, historical traditions. In the upbringing of the future writer, his father, Vasily Afanasyevich, a passionate admirer of art, a theater lover, an author of poetry and witty comedies, played a certain role.
After home education Gogol spent two years at the Poltava district school, then entered the Nizhyn gymnasium of higher sciences. Here he learns to play the violin, is engaged in painting, participates in performances, performing comic roles.
After graduating from high school in 1828, the writer went to St. Petersburg with the hope of starting wide activity. But the first literary tests were unsuccessful.
In 1830 in the magazine " Domestic notes"Gogol's first story "Basavryuk" appeared, later revised into the story "The Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala." In December, a chapter from historical novel"Hetman". Gogol becomes close to Delvig, Zhukovsky, Pushkin, with whom he had friendship great importance to develop public opinion and literary talent young Gogol. Pushkin introduced him into his circle, where Krylov, Vyazemsky, Odoevsky, the artist Bryullov were, gave him plots for The Inspector General and " dead souls".
Literary fame for Gogol was brought by "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka" (1831 - 32), the story " Sorochinskaya Fair"," May Night ", etc. In 1833 he came to the decision to devote himself to scientific and pedagogical work and in 1834 was appointed adjunct professor in the department world history at Saint Petersburg University. The study of works on the history of Ukraine formed the basis of the idea of "Taras Bulba". In 1835 he left the university and devoted himself entirely to literary creativity. In the same year, collections of stories "Mirgorod" were published, which included "Old World Landowners", "Taras Bulba", "Viy" and others, and "Arabesques" (on the themes of St. Petersburg life). In 1835 The Inspector General was written and already in 1836 staged in Moscow with the participation of Shchepkin.
February 11, 1852, while in serious trouble state of mind, the writer burned the manuscript of the second volume of the poem Dead Souls. On the morning of February 21, Gogol died in his apartment on Nikitsky Boulevard.
Gogol was buried in the cemetery of the Danilov Monastery in Moscow. After the revolution, Gogol's remains were transferred to Novodevichy cemetery.
Although creative life the writer was short-lived, and some periods of his life are completely shrouded in mystery, everyone knows the name of Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol. Having quickly become famous, the young author surprised his contemporaries with his talent. It surprises the current reader as well.
Those fifteen years that the writer devoted to writing showed the world a genius of the highest standard. Distinctive feature- this is versatility and creative evolution. Poetics, associative perception, metaphor, grotesque, intonational diversity, alternation of the comical with pathos. Novels, plays, even poetry.
Housewarming (1826)
The whole life of the writer was full of struggle and inner experiences. Perhaps, while still studying in Nizhyn, the young man felt that he would have many questions about the meaning of life.There, as a high school student, Kolya wrote a verse for the school handwritten magazine, the name of which is considered to be "Housewarming". But it is known for sure that in a final design with the author's autograph it was called "Bad Weather".
The young poet, already at the age of seventeen, had doubts about the correctness of the title of his poem. These doubts about a correctly chosen style, a correctly inserted replica, and even a word, the author will carry through all his work, mercilessly cracking down on texts that, in his opinion, failed.
The young man seemed to prophesy to himself:
Is it light, is it dark - it's all the same,
When there is bad weather in this heart!
In addition to the poem "Housewarming", Gogol wrote four more poems and the poem "Hanz Kühelgarten".
Ganz Küchelgarten (1827-1829)
The first publication did not live up to Nikolai's expectations - it was a cruel disappointment. The hopes placed on this story were not justified. The romantic idyll in pictures, written back in the Nizhyn gymnasium in 1827, received negative reviews, and forced the author to reconsider his creative possibilities.At this time, Gogol was hiding behind the pseudonym A. Alov. The writer bought up all unsold copies and destroyed them. Now Nikolai decided to write about what he knows well - about beautiful Ukraine.
Evenings on a farm near Dikanka (1829-1832)
The book aroused the keen interest of readers. Historical digression in Little Russia, depicting pictures of Ukrainian life, shining with cheerfulness and subtle humor, made a big impression.
It would make perfect sense if the narrator used Ukrainian language for your creations. But in Russian, Gogol seemed to erase the line between Little Russia and Great Russia. Ukrainian folklore motifs, where the main language is Russian, generously strewn Ukrainian words, made the entire collection of "Evenings" absolutely exquisite, absolutely different from everything that was at that time.
The young writer began his work not with clean slate. Even in Nizhyn, he kept a notebook, which he himself called "All sorts of things." It was a notebook with four hundred and ninety sheets, in which the schoolboy wrote down everything that seemed interesting to him: historical and geographical references, statements famous writers, proverbs and sayings, giving, songs, customs, own thoughts and writings.
The young man did not stop there. He writes letters to his mother and sisters, and asks them to send him various information on the topic: "the life of the Little Russian people." He wants to know everything. Thus began the great work on the book.
"Evenings" had a subtitle: "Tales published by the beekeeper Rudy Pank." This fictional character. He needed to give credibility to the stories. The author seems to go into the shadows, passing forward the image of a simple, good-natured, cheerful beekeeper, allowing him to laugh and joke about his fellow villagers. So, through the stories simple peasant conveys the flavor of Ukrainian life. This character seems to wink at the reader, slyly reserving the right to fiction, but passing him off as honest truth. And all this with a special elevated intonation.
The differences between fiction and the stories of the writer is that in fairy tales there are magical characters, while Gogol has religious ones. Here everything is saturated with faith in God and in the power of the devil.
The action of all the stories included in the collection is associated with one of the temporary chronological layers: antiquity, recent legendary times Catherine the Great and Modernity.
The first readers of the "Evenings" were printing workers, who, seeing Gogol who came to them, began to laugh and assured him that his "tricks" were very funny. "So! thought the writer. “Cherny liked me.”
First book
And here is the debut. The first book is out. These are: “Sorochinsky Fair”, “Evening on the Eve of Ivan Kupala”, “Drowned Woman”, “Missing Letter”.And it became clear to everyone around - this is Talent! Everybody notable critics unanimously expressed their admiration. The writer makes friends in literary circles. Published by Baron Anton Antonovich Delvig, learns the opinion of Vasily Andreevich Zhukovsky, already a recognized critic at that time. Having become friends with Zhukovsky, Nikolai falls into the literary and aristocratic circle.
A year has passed and the second part of the collection came out. Simplicity, diversity, diversity of the nationality splashed out with stories: “The Night Before Christmas”, “ Terrible revenge”, “Ivan Fedorovich Shponka and his aunt”, “The Enchanted Place”.
The festive, colorful side has another - night, dark, sinful, otherworldly. Truth side by side with lies, irony with seriousness. found a place and love stories and unsolved mysteries.
Even at the dawn of cinema, Gogol's works began to attract directors. At the beginning of the 20th century, the film adaptations of The Night Before Christmas, Terrible Revenge, Viy, were perceived by the public as "Hurrah", despite the fact that the poetics and imagery of the plot that the narrator so diligently invested disappeared on the screen in silent films. in every phrase.
Films based on Gogol's "Evenings" came out later, and "Viy", in fact, is the first Soviet film horror.
Arabesque (1835)
This was the following collection, partly compiled from articles published in 30-34 years XIX century, and partly from works published for the first time.stories and literary texts included in this collection are little known to the general reader. Here Gogol talked about Russian literature, looked for its place in history, and outlined tasks for it. He spoke about art, about Pushkin, as about the greatness of the people's poet, about folk art.
Mirgorod (1835)
This period was the peak of Gogol's fame, and all his works included in the Mirgorod collection only confirmed the author's genius.
For editorial purposes, the collection was divided into two books, two stories each.
Taras Bulba
After the release of Taras Bulba, Belinsky immediately declared that this was a "poem of great passions."Indeed: war, murder, revenge, betrayal. In this story, there was a place for love, but such a strong one, for which the hero is ready to give everything: comrades, father, Motherland, life.
The narrator created such a plot that it is impossible to unequivocally assess the actions of the main characters. Taras Bulba, so thirsty for war, eventually loses two sons and dies himself. The betrayal of Andriy, who fell in love with the beautiful Polish woman so much and was ready to do anything for the sake of this fatal passion.
old world landowners
This work was misunderstood by many. Few people saw in the story of the old married couple love story. The kind of love that is not expressed by stormy confessions, sworn assurances or betrayals with a tragic end.The simple life of old landowners who cannot live without each other, because they are one whole in this life - that's what the narrator tried to convey to the reader.
But the public, having understood the story in its own way, nevertheless expressed its approval.
Contemporaries of Nikolai Vasilyevich were surprised to get acquainted with the Old Slavonic pagan character. In folk Ukrainian fairy tales this character does not exist, Gogol "brought" him from the historical depths. And the character took root, frightening the reader with his dangerous look.
The story has a huge semantic load. All the main action takes place in the church, where there is a struggle between good and evil, faith and unbelief.
The ending is sad. Evil has won main character died. Here's something to think about. Man did not have enough faith to be saved.
The story of how Ivan Ivanovich quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich
This is the closing work of the Mirgorod collection, in which all the passions are ironic.
Human nature in the person of two landowners, who, having nothing to do, started a long-term lawsuit, is shown from all sides, denouncing them worst features. Elite secular society shown in the most unattractive pictures: stupidity, stupidity, stupidity.
And the ending: "It's boring in this world, gentlemen!" - food for deep philosophical reasoning.
Notes of a Madman (1835)
The first title of the story is "Scraps from a Madman's Notes".
This story about madness, sustained in Gogol's style, had no analogues. Here Nikolai Vasilyevich added a good portion of pity to his wit and originality.
The hero did not suffer in vain. In this strange grotesque, many saw both the poetry of the word and the philosophy of thought.
Nevsky Prospekt (1835)
The writer lived in St. Petersburg for many years and he simply could not describe the place that was central in the lives of many citizens.What just does not happen on Nevsky Prospekt. And the narrator, as if making Nevsky Prospekt the main character, shows his life, using the example of two characters, completely randomly snatched from the crowd.
Examiner (1835)
An immortal play that brought Nikolai Vasilievich great fame. He created the brightest authentic images of provincial bureaucracy, embezzlement, bribery and stupidity.
It is believed that the idea of this play was born in Pushkin's head, but the elaboration of the plot and the creation of the characters' characters are all Gogol's merit. Hidden behind farce and naturalism philosophical overtones, because the impostor is punished by officials of the county town.
It was not immediately possible to achieve the production of the play. The emperor himself had to convince that the play was not dangerous, that it was just a mockery of bad provincial officials.
Comedy Business Man's Morning (1836)
Initially, the work was conceived as a great work, which was to be called "Vladimir of the third degree", and "Morning" is only part of a big idea.But on different reasons, including due to censorship, will take place great work it was not destiny. There is too much "salt, anger, laughter" in the comedy. Even the initial name “Morning of an Official” was replaced by the censor with “Morning business man».
The remaining manuscripts of the large work that did not take place were revised and used by Gogol in other works.
Litigation (1836)
Unfinished comedy - part of the play "Vladimir of the third degree". Despite the fact that "Vladimir" fell apart and did not take place, and "Litigation" remained unfinished, individual scenes received the right to life and were staged in the theater during the author's lifetime.Extract (1839-1840)
The first title is "Scenes from secular life- a dramatic passage. He was not destined to see the light - so decided the censorship.Nikolai Vasilievich included this passage in Dramatic Fragments and Separate Scenes in his edition in 1842.
Lackey (1839-1840)
Another dramatic excerpt from the failed play "Vladimir of the Third Degree", self-published in the "Works of Nikolai Gogol" in 1842.Nose (1841-1842)
absurd satirical work was not understood. The Moscow Observer magazine refused to publish it, accusing the writer of stupidity and vulgarity. But Pushkin found in it a lot of unexpected, funny and original, posting it in his Sovremennik magazine.True, it was not without censorship, which cut out entire pieces of the text. But the image of an empty ambitious person striving for statuary and admiration for higher ranks was a success.
Dead Souls (1835-1841)
This is the most fundamental creation difficult fate. The conceived three-volume book could not see the light, in the version in which Nikolai Vasilyevich wanted - hell, purgatory, paradise (many philologists think so).
In 1842, the first volume was published, strictly edited by the censors. But semantic load preserved. The reader could see everything: temptation, evil, dynamic beginning. And to recognize the devil in the one who buys souls - in Chichikovo. And all the landowners are a whole gallery of various types, each of which personifies some property of the human character.
The book has been well-received. It was translated into other languages already in 1844, and very soon it could be read in German, Czech, English, Polish. During the life of the author, the book was translated into ten languages.
The ideas of the third volume remained ideas. For this volume, the writer collected materials, but did not have time to use them.
Theatrical tour after the presentation of the new comedy (1836-1841)
The writer spent his whole life looking for genuine feelings, dismantled spiritual qualities, put a certain philosophy into his creations.
In essence, The Theater Journey is a play about a play. And the conclusion suggests itself. The number of jesters that society needs is disproportionate to all kinds of money-grubbing and the desire for profit. “There are many opinions, but no one understood the main thing,” the author complains.
Overcoat (1839-1841)
It is believed that this story was born from an anecdote. Mixing compassion with irritation, Akaky Akakievich suddenly came out. And sad funny story about small insignificant person suddenly became interesting.
And having laughed at Gogol's character, it's time to think about whether the biblical meaning is embedded in this story. After all, the soul wants to love one beautiful thing, and people are not so perfect. But Christ calls everyone to be kind and meek. In Greek, "doing no evil" - Akaki. So we get Akaky Akakievich, the image is soft and vulnerable.
"Overcoat" was understood in different ways, but fell in love. She found her place in the cinema. The film "The Overcoat", released in 1926, and enthusiastically accepted by the public, was banned by censorship in 1949. But on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the writer's birth, New film"Overcoat" directed by Alexei Batalov.
Portrait (1842)
In the first part, the writer touches on the attitude of others towards art, scolding the monotony and short-sightedness. The author condemns the deceit on the canvases, which the public likes so much, calling to serve real art.In the second part, Gogol dug even deeper. Explaining that the purpose of art is the service of God. Without insight, the artist simply makes soulless copies, and in this case the triumph of evil over good is inevitable.
The story has been criticized for being too instructive.
Play Marriage (1842)
A play with full name“Marriage, or an Absolutely Incredible Event in Two Acts,” it was written back in 1835, and had the title “Grooms”.But Nikolai Vasilyevich made adjustments for another eight years, and when, finally, the performance was staged, many did not understand him. Even the actors themselves did not understand what they were playing.
But time put everything in its place. The idea that marriage is a union of two souls, and not the search for an illusory ideal, for many years makes the audience go to this performance, and the directors put it on different stages.
Comedy Players (1842)
AT tsarist Russia theme gambling hovered in the air. It has been touched upon by many writers. Nikolai Vasilievich expressed his vision on this matter.
The writer is so twisted plot story, flavoring everything with chic turns, including slang expressions of gamblers, that the comedy has turned into a real intricate matrix, where all the characters pretend to be someone else.
The comedy was an immediate success. It is relevant even today.
Rome (1842)
Is not independent work, and an excerpt from unfinished novel"Annunziata". This passage quite clearly characterizes the author's evolution in creativity, but he did not receive a worthy assessment.Selected passages from correspondence with friends (1845)
A spiritual crisis pushes the writer to religious and philosophical topics. The fruit of this work was the publication of the collection "Selected passages from correspondence with friends."This work, written in an edifying preaching style, caused a storm in critical circles. In all literary circles there were disputes and excerpts from this book were read.
Passions were serious. Vissarion Grigoryevich Belinsky wrote critique as open letter. But the letter was banned from printing, and it began to be distributed in manuscript form. It is for the dissemination of this letter to death penalty Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was sentenced. True, the “death penalty by shooting” did not happen, the sentence was commuted to punishment in the form of hard labor.
Gogol, on the other hand, explained the attacks against the book as his mistake, believing that the chosen edifying tone ruined everything. Yes, and those places that censorship did not initially miss, finally ruined the material presented.
All the works of Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol are pages of the amazing beauty of the Russian word, when reading you rejoice and are proud that you can speak and think in the same language.
Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol - literary talent Russia of the 19th century. The first work - the poem "Italy" - was published in 1829. He has been writing almost last days life.
His creations are very original, here mysticism is closely intertwined with reality. calling card the writer began sketches of "naturalness" ordinary life, a reflection of naked Russian reality without embellishment and smoothing. He first created social types, endowing his heroes with common features people of a certain social stratum, surprisingly accurately summarized everything characteristic of Russian cities, creating a single image of the province and the big city. Each character of Gogol is not a certain famous person, but collective image, embodying the characters and mores of an entire generation or social stratum.
Best works
Without taking into account the destroyed 2nd volume of Dead Souls, Gogol's literary baggage totals 68 works. The most famous of them:
- "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka",
- "Viy",
- "The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich"
- "Nose",
- "Overcoat",
- "Diary of a Madman",
- "Selected places from correspondence with friends."
The list is far from complete, but these works are able to represent the author's work as much as possible.
Perhaps the most famous work writer - comedy play "The Inspector General" in 5 acts. The author began work on it in the autumn of 1835, and just six months later - in January 1836 - he finished writing. Main character- petty St. Petersburg official Khlestakov, whom everyone took for an important inspector. The sly bureaucrat quickly realized what was happening, and began to take advantage of the state of affairs with might and main, accepting bribes, gifts and eating for free at secular dinners. Everyone fawned over him, trying to appease and please.
When he leaves the city, everyone accidentally becomes aware that Khlestakov is a swindler, and then comes to the town real auditor. Silent scene.
The play has been staged more than once on the stage of theaters, including European ones. And although the first production in St. Petersburg was not successful, all subsequent ones were very warmly received by the public.
In Gogol's diaries, a mention was found that the idea of "The Government Inspector" was given to him by Pushkin, who was one of the first listeners of the play and accepted it with great enthusiasm.
Genius work. Deep in essence and complete in decoration. One of the most significant works the author, which, according to the notes of Gogol himself, was originally conceived as a three-volume book. The first volume was published in 1842. The second was never published. According to the generally accepted version, based on the testimony of the writer's servant, "being in a state of physical weakness and mental disorder," Nikolai Vasilievich burned the already finished manuscript of the second volume. After Gogol's death, handwritten first 5 chapters were found in his drafts. Today they are kept in the personal collection of Timur Abdullayev, an American businessman of Russian origin. The only thing known about the third volume is that it was conceived as a description of the heroes of the poem who had reformed after the "purgatory".
The plot of the work was also suggested by Pushkin. As a result, a literary masterpiece was born, telling about the adventures of the protagonist, the collegiate adviser Chichikov, who in the city of N bought “dead souls”, that is, dead serfs, from the landowners. Why did he need it? In the future, he planned to mortgage them in a bank and use the loan received to buy some kind of estate for arranging his future. Events developed in such a way that the scam failed, and Chichikov ended up in the gendarmerie, from where he was rescued with difficulty by the millionaire Murazov. This is where the first volume ends.
The most colorful characters:
- "Sweet to the point of cloying" landowner Manilov, a man of no use to society, an empty dreamer;
- Korobochka is a landowner known for all her greed and pettiness;
- Sobakevich, whose all efforts are aimed only at arranging life and strengthening material well-being;
- Plyushkin is the most caricatured character. Extremely stingy, regrets throwing away even the sole that has come off the boot. Incredibly suspicious, he refused not only from society, but even from his own children, believing that everyone wants to rob him and let him go around the world.
These and many other heroes reflect the world of inverted values, lost ideals. Their souls are empty, dead... Such a view allows one to interpret the title "Dead Souls" allegorically.
The poem has endured theatrical productions, screenings. Has been translated to different languages.
This story is a very serious work. It highlights the heroism of the Ukrainian people in the fight against the Turks and Tatars. It is large-scale in content and events covered by it, the images of its heroes are epic, the basis for their creation was epic heroes.
The main scenes of the story are the battles of the Zaporozhye Cossacks with foreign invaders. They are discharged close-up attention paid to details. The course of the battle, the actions of individual soldiers, their appearance described in detail, with bright strokes.
Every fictional character in the story is hyperbolic. Images do not reflect individual historical figures but entire social strata of that time.
To write "Taras Bulba" Nikolai Vasilyevich studied many historical sources, chronicles, epics, folk songs and legends.
Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka
This two-volume edition was published in 1832. Each volume contains 4 stories, the action of which covers the 17th-19th centuries. Gogol very thinly rings the past and the present, weaves a true story and a fairy tale, giving his work a historical and spiritual unity.
"Evenings ..." received very high ratings literary critics- contemporaries of the author, as well as such masters as Pushkin, Baratynsky. The collection fascinates the reader not only with fabulous plots, but also with high poetic style.
In fact, "Evenings ..." is a fantasy, masterfully crafted folklore. On the pages of the work, witches, sorcerers, mermaids, goblins, devils and other devilry.
Final chord
Gogol is a writer capital letter. It is difficult to single out the most famous work of this author. It is difficult to convey in words the depth, poetry and richness of his works. Only by directly familiarizing yourself with each work, you can not only understand, but feel the lively, rich and original talent of Gogol. The reader will definitely get great pleasure from reading his writings.
