Since the school day, we remember the beginning of the story of Nikolai Gogol "Taras Bulba": "And turn around, son!" What a funny man you are! What is this about you for the priest's cassocks? And so they all go to the academy? - these words were met by the old Bulba of his two sons, who studied in the Kiev bursa and came home to their father. After studying the Cossack chronicles, folk songs and legends about the brave Cossacks and creatively reinterpreting them, Nikolai Gogol wrote a remarkable tale of what is important at all times: love and betrayal, duty and honor, respect for one's native land and readiness to give up life for it. In addition to the story of Nikolai Gogol "Taras Bulba", in our electronic library download and read also his books "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka", "Viy", "Notes of a Madman" and others.
