Description
On one of the frosty December evenings of 1928, a mail coach was approaching St. Petersburg. Among the passengers were two young friends—Gogol and Danilevsky—who had just finished the Nizhyn Gymnasium of the Higher Sciences.
In gloomy, official St. Petersburg, Gogol, exhausted by petty struggles for survival, suffering one failure after another, remembered his native sunny Ukraine. A plan emerged for “Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka”—the book that embodied his dream of a beautiful, free life for a person.
Gogol asks his mother to describe in detail the clothes of peasants, to tell him about wedding rituals, about various spirits—with their “names and deeds.”
Gogol published his book about Ukraine when he was only 22. Critics highly praised the first book of the young writer; especially dear to the author was Pushkin’s review: “Just read ‘Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka.’ They astonished me. Here is real cheerfulness—sincere, unforced, without affectation, without stiffness. And sometimes, what poetry!.. All of this is extraordinary in our current literature...”
