Description Wiki
Taras Bulba (Ukrainian: ????? ?????? ; Tar s B lba) is a romanticized historical novella by Nikolai Gogol. It describes the life of an old Zaporozhian Cossack, Taras Bulba, and his two sons, Andriy and Ostap. The sons study at the Kiev Academy and then return home, whereupon the three men set out on a journey to the Zaporizhian Sich (the Zaporizhian Cossack headquarters, located in southern Ukraine), where they join other Cossacks and go to war against Poland. The main character is based on several historical personalities, and other characters are not as exaggerated or grotesque as was common in Gogols later fiction. The story can be understood in the context of the Romantic nationalism movement in literature, which developed around a historical ethnic culture which meets the Romantic ideal. Initially published in 1835 as part of a collection of stories, it was much more abridged and evinced some differences in the storyline compared with the better known 1842 edition, the latter having been described by Victor Erlich as a "paragon of civic virtue and a force of patriotic edification" while the first being "distinctly Cossack jingoism".[1]

Review from GR: Taras Bulba is the longest piece in this collection and it stands out from the other stories in terms of grandeur and scale. The novella is Gogols attempt to create an Ukrainian national epic as he romanticizes a military campaign by the Zaporozhian Cossacks against the Poles. Gogol reflects the biases and prejudices of his time the depiction of Poles and Jews in the novella is problematic for us today. Yet taken on its own terms, Taras Bulba is a cultural celebration for an Ukraine overshadowed and dominated by Russia. The rest of the stories share a much narrower focus than Taras Bulba. The short story St. Johns Eve describes a folkloric encounter with the devil. The Cloak describes the downfall of a lowly cog in the bureaucratic machine. The comic story How the Two Ivans Quarreled depicts how a simple disagreement between two friends explodes into a complex, never-ending lawsuit. In The Mysterious Portrait, a poor, young artist receives his hearts desire and in the process looses himself. The collection ends with The Calash, a brief fable against putting on airs and showing off.
