I 1840’erne bliver de russiske godsejere beskattet efter, hvor mange ’sjæle’ de ejer, også selvom de pågældende livegne er døde og ikke længere til nogen gavn for godsejeren. Da den fremmed hr. Tjitjikov tilbyder at købe disse ’døde sjæle’ for et symbolsk beløb, skulle man tro, at sjælenes ejere straks ville slå til for at undgå at betale skat for en ejendom, der kun eksisterer på papiret, men Tjitjikov lærer hurtigt, at de russiske godsejere er for paranoide og nærige til at gå med på hans betingelser sådan uden videre. For hvad vil han egentlig med deres døde sjæle? Gogols ikoniske roman "Døde sjæle" er en milepæl i russisk litteratur og tegner bidende satiriske portrætter af de russiske småadelsfolk og den småborgerlige middelklasse. Nikolaj Gogol (1809-1852) var en russisk forfatter af ukrainsk oprindelse. Han rejste som 19-årig fra en ukrainsk provinsby til Sankt Petersborg og indledte sin forfatterkarriere med en udpræget fiasko i form af et Byron-inspireret digt. Efter denne oplevelse vendte Gogol i stedet opmærksomheden mod noveller, og det var denne genre, der gav ham sit gennembrud. I 1831-32 udgav han novellerne "Aftener på en gård nær Dikanka", som blev oversat til dansk og udgivet i 1857. Herefter udgav Gogol både essays, noveller og fortællinger, men der skulle gå ti år, før han i 1942 udgav romanen "Døde sjæle", der skulle blive hans hovedværk. Gogol er desuden kendt for at have inspireret forfattere såsom blandt andet Dostojevskij og Bulgakov.

"The Cloak" is a short story by Ukrainian-born Russian author Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842. Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809 – 1852) was a Russian dramatist of Ukrainian origin. Translated by Thomas Seltzer.

I 1600-talets Polen rasar de blodiga kosackupproren och Taras Bulba och hans familj tar del i striden på kosackernas sida. Det han inte vet är att hans ena son, Andrij, har gått över på den polska kronans sida. Under ett stort slag kommer så far och son att stå öga mot öga. Gogol, som själv var historiker, utgick från ögonvittnesskildringar av upproret som skakade Polen när han skrev Taras Bulba. Det är en historisk roman om familjeband, strid och hämnd som tillhör Gogols mest kända verk. I originalöversättning av Jarl Hemmer Nikolaj Gogol (1809-1852) var en unkrainskfödd rysk författare. Han var en mästare i det korta formatet, och är känd för kortromanen Taras Bulba och noveller som Näsan och Kappan. Han betraktas som en av de största skildrarna av sin samtid, och hans verk läses än idag över hela världen.
