Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, a renowned Ukrainian and Russian novelist, was born in 1809 and passed away in 1852. He was considered one of the most prominent figures of the natural school of Russian literary realism by his contemporaries, but later critics have discovered a fundamentally romantic sensibility in his work, with elements of surrealism and the grotesque.
