With an introduction. Gogol is recognized as one of the greatest writers in Russian literature from the point of view of the imaginativeness and stylistic richness of his work. No Russian author has handled the wealth of the Russian language so well and his choice of everyday life as the basis of much of his work had a profound effect on the future of Russian literature. Taras Bulba is one of the character creations, full of life and vitality, that can speak for itself.
