He only wrote one novel, \u003ci\u003eDead Souls\u003c\/i\u003e, and destroyed much of his later work, so his stories constitute his major output.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this collection, beautifully and skilfully translated by Oliver Ready, Gogol's three greatest St Petersburg stories - 'The Nose', 'The Overcoat' and 'The Diary of a Madman' - are presented alongside three masterworks set in the Ukrainian and Russian provinces, demonstrating the breadth of Gogol's work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGogol's extraordinary work is characterised by his idiosyncratic and often very funny sensibility, and these stories offer us his unique, original and marvellously skewed perspective on the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                \u003cp\u003eNikolai Vasilyevich Gogol was born in 1809 in Ukraine, and moved to St Petersburg after his studies in 1828 to work in an obscure government ministry. His first collection of stories, \u003ci\u003eEvenings on a Farm Near Dikanka\u003c\/i\u003e (1831), made him famous, and he went on to write several further collections of stories, as well as the play \u003ci\u003eThe Government Inspector.\u003c\/i\u003e Part I of his great, and only novel, \u003ci\u003eDead Souls,\u003c\/i\u003e appeared in 1842. In his later life he was increasingly tormented both physically and psychologically, and he burned much of his writing, including part II of \u003ci\u003eDead Souls.\u003c\/i\u003e He died in 1852, possibly from self-starvation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n                        \n                        \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43207952400545,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781782275152","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/products\/9781782275152.jpg?v=1694228575","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/and-the-earth-will-sit-on-the-moon-paperback-by-nikolai-gogol","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
