Taras Bulba and Other Tales

Taras Bulba And Other Tales is a collection of short stories written by Nikolai Gogol, one of the most prominent Russian writers of the 19th century. The book includes the title story, Taras Bulba, which is a historical novella set in the 16th century and tells the story of a Cossack warrior who leads his men into battle against the Poles. The other tales in the collection are also set in Ukraine and explore themes of love, betrayal, and the struggle for power. Gogol's writing style is characterized by his use of satire, irony, and dark humor, which give his stories a unique and often unsettling tone. This collection is a classic of Russian literature and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Ukraine and Russia.All three horsemen rode in silence. Old Taras's thoughts were far away: before him passed his youth, his years--the swift-flying years, over which the Cossack always weeps, wishing that his life might be all youth. He wondered whom of his former comrades he should meet at the Setch. He reckoned up how many had already died, how many were still alive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
