Evenings in Little Russia (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Evenings in Little Russia
Nikolai Vasilievitch Gogol was born at the beginning of the Nineteenth century, about 1808 or 1809, in the very heart of the Cossack country, in the village of Pultava. He was of Cossack blood, his grandfather having been connected with the ancient Zaporovian League, which was made up for the most part of outlaws and brigands. The grandfather played an important part in the boy's life. Having reached old age, and being unfit for active service, his mind dwelt freely upon the exploits of his youth, and he became a past master in the art of story telling. The boy never tired of listening to his grandsire. With frequent repetition, as may readily be imagined, the stories became less fact than fiction; folk lore became engrafted upon them - mysterious adventures not easily explainable. Defeat came of the devil's aid; victor of armies of angels.
