A great poem, a celebration of absurdity and the grotesque, from which the history of Russian realism is paradoxically reckoned. Having conceived a three-part work modeled on "The Divine Comedy", Gogol managed to complete only the first volume - in which he introduced into literature a new hero, a businessman and a knave, and created an immortal image of Russia as a bird-troika, rushing in an unknown direction.
"The main books of Russian literature" - a joint series of publishing house "Alpina. Prose" and the Internet project "Shelf". The works that appear in it are selected by contemporary writers, critics, literary critics, and teachers. This is an attempt to determine what the Russian literary canon looks like today, and a new look at well-known works: each book is accompanied by a foreword by the authors of "Polka".
