I Want To Redo My Car Interero

200th Birthday of Nikolai Gogol


Nikolai Gogol, like his contemporaries for life have been a mystery. There are people whose character can never be explained even comes close. What is known about the Russian writer of Ukrainian origin, may not astonish posterity. He was short, rather ugly, had a long nose and was described as sullen, sick, dark and smart.

Gogol was lucky to Alexander Pushkin in 1831 to get to know, who became his friend and supporter, and is said to have inspired him to write the dead souls.

Two of his stories I think are particularly good, so fantastic. For one, the nose , A grotesque piece of literature of the highest quality. The loss of a nose reveals the uncertainty of the hero who gets thereat into an identity crisis. On the other marked the jacket, the history of the copyist Akaky Akakijewitsch, whose life of boredom, which will take no notice of it. For his colleagues he is an object of ridicule. He has a lot of effort to take in to afford a coat can. This coat it transforms from one second to another. Akaky Akakijewitsch is literally a different person, and just when he begins to get used to this new life is, he stole the beloved coat. When he turns to a higher position, he is mocked. He over the loss of his mantle not to overcome, and eventually falls into madness. Soon after he dies.

The two tales demonstrate once more the words of Max Frisch, who admitted once:
"I write myself." No different from Gogol, whose heroes have more or less reference to himself.

Gogol fell into the clutches of a priest who approved of his writings do not, whereupon the author burned the second part of Dead Souls, which he later regretted little deep. Gogol may have been indoctrinated so much religious, that he eventually died from the effects of strict fasting.

A Mitgrund for his early Death at the age of 43 years may have been his schizophrenic traits which in those days could not be adequately addressed. He has created some wonderful grotesques, and with the dead souls of a work that is classified in the world literature.
