Today I will answer the following questions. Who was Nikolai Gogol? What are some of his best works? I’ll summarise his masterpiece, Dead Souls, and discuss his style of writing, and why he was such a comic genius. In the end I will tell you about some of his great short stories. Also his influence on world literature, from Japan to China, from Russia to Europe. But first let me tell you a bit about Gogol’s life.
