The books of the talented writer Nikolai Gogol, generously saturated with subtle humor, plot interweaving of unforeseen situations, virtuoso sarcasm, characters whose names have become household names, are well known to readers. Gogol himself said about the properties of his talent: "The only thing that came out well for me was what I took from reality, from the data known to me." At the same time, the characters depicted in his books were not just a repetition of reality, they were whole artistic types, with all the shades of their characters and demeanor. Many of Gogol's works have been filmed.
