About this ebook
Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol
Nikolai Gogol was a Russian novelist and playwright born in what is now considered part of the modern Ukraine. By the time he was 15, Gogol worked as an amateur writer for both Russian and Ukrainian scripts, and then turned his attention and talent to prose. His short-story collections were immediately successful and his first novel, The Government Inspector, was well-received. Gogol went on to publish numerous acclaimed works, including Dead Souls, The Portrait, Marriage, and a revision of Taras Bulba. He died in 1852 while working on the second part of Dead Souls.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The short diary of Aksénti Ivánovitch Popríchin, a public servant that slowly turns insane, at first just convincing himself dogs are able to speak and write, and ending up pretending he is Fernando VIII, king of Spain. In spite of not being a cheerful story, one cannot avoid an ocassional smile.
