Hardback. Condition: New. Gogol's classic, uproarious folktale, presented in a beautiful hardcover edition perfect for giving as a gift.Written in 1831, this dark tale relates the adventures of Vakula, the blacksmith, in his fight against the devil, who has stolen the moon above the village of Dikanka and is wreaking havoc on its inhabitants, all to win the love of the most beautiful girl in town. The basis for many film and opera adaptations, and still a story traditionally read aloud to children on Christmas Eve in Ukraine and Russia, The Night Before Christmas is the best holiday tale by the man whom Vladimir Nabokov called 'the greatest writer Russia has yet produced'.Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) was the son of a Ukrainian gentleman farmer. He attended a variety of boarding schools, where he proved an indifferent student but was admired for his theatrical abilities. In 1828 he moved to St. Petersburg and began to publish stories, and by the mid-1830s he had established himself in the literary world and been warmly praised by Pushkin. In 1836, his play The Inspector-General was attacked as immoral, and he left Russia, remaining abroad for most of the next dozen years. During that time he wrote two of his best-known stories, 'The Nose' and 'The Overcoat,' and in 1842 he published the first section of his masterpiece Dead Souls. Gogol became increasingly religious as the years passed, and in 1847 he became the disciple of an Orthodox priest who influenced him to burn the second part of Dead Souls and then abandon writing altogether. After undertaking an extreme fast, he died at the age of forty-two. Makovsky, Konstantin; Grabar, Igor; Kivshenko, Aleksei (illustrator).…

Soft cover. Condition: Good. This important publication examines the fate of artistic culture under conditions of political and ideological pressure, bringing together a rich series of essays devoted to European art, museums, collectors, and the complex life of artistic heritage in the twentieth century. The work is associated with the scholarly and cultural legacy of Igor Grabar, one of the most influential figures in Russian art history. Grabar was not only a distinguished painter and critic, but also a pioneering art historian, restorer, and museum reformer, whose research laid the foundations of modern Russian art scholarship. He played a decisive role in the preservation of national artistic heritage after the Revolution, headed major museum institutions, supervised restoration projects of icons and architectural monuments, and shaped several generations of museum professionals and researchers. His intellectual authority and lifelong devotion to art allowed him to navigate the severe constraints of the Soviet cultural system while continuing to advance serious scholarship and conservation. With an introductory essay by V. Kaimenov, the book addresses a wide spectrum of subjects: the artistic traditions of Germany, the legacy of Van Gogh, the collections of the Louvre and the Luxembourg Museum, the work of Courbet, the painters of Marchand, the artistic visions of Vermeer and Hals, as well as the world of museums and museum professionals, collectors and dealers, and the phenomenon of the epidemic of art forgeries. These studies are accompanied by illustrations of significant works of art and form a multifaceted reflection on the survival of culture in times of historical upheaval. Issued in the Soviet Union during a period of cautious cultural thaw, the book stands as both a scholarly investigation and a quiet testament to the endurance of artistic thought and cultural memory under pressure. The book is in good condition, with staining and wear to the binding.…
