"Gogol" is a book by Aleksandr Voronsky, written in 1934.
The book recreates the living image of Gogol both as a person and as a writer. His works are of interest to the biographer in the first place to the extent that they reflect the personality of the creator.
In Voronsky, Gogol has, as it were, “double vision”: on the one hand, with astonishing sharpness he sees the “materiality of the world,” and on the other, he can discern a person’s spiritual growth.
