In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. Love is good. It’s positive, a source of joy, nourishment and all over goodness. But sometimes other more malevolent forces come to play. They infect that love, they see their form as better. Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

May Night, or the Drowned Maiden, 1831 is the third tale in the collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol. It was made into the opera May Night by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1878–79 and also a Ukrainian setting by Mykola Lysenko. This story comes from the unnamed story-teller (who was previously responsible for "The Fair at Sorochyntsi"). In this tale, a young Cossack named Levko, the son of the mayor, is in love with Hanna. He comes to her house to talk about marriage and mentions that his father is not pleased with the idea, though he doesn't say anything directly and merely ignores him.

The Cloak (sometimes translated as Overcoat) is a short story by Russian author Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842. The story and its author have had great influence on Russian literature, as expressed in a quote attributed to Fyodor Dostoyevsky: "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'." The story narrates the life and death of titular councillor Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin, an impoverished government clerk and copyist in the Russian capital of St. Petersburg. Akaky is dedicated to his job, though little recognized in his department for his hard work.

With his sense of humor and ability to observe, Nikolai Gogol presents the world with stories of little people: the weak and fragile people who try to hold on to life in the gloomy cities of Russia. The Mantle, which is listed among his masterpieces, describes how Russian bureaucracy turns everyone into a ghost of each other. It tells the tragicomic story of a poor low-ranking official named Akakiy Akakiyevich Bashmachkin, a faint character living on the margins of society who spends all his time diligently copying documents.

In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. There are times when love is not a revelation and a calling from one soul to another but a carefully navigated path, or maybe a badly chosen path that decimates happiness. Which way will our literary leviathans take us? Inevitably it will be more than one.

Die tragikomische Novelle von 1842 beschreibt das einsame Leben des Akakij Akakijewitsch in Sankt Petersburg. Er ist Beamter mit Leib und Seele, der seinen Beruf als Kopist liebt. Den Spott seiner Kollegen ignoriert er, am gesellschaftlichen Leben nimmt er kaum teil. Erst, als er sich einen Mantel kauft, den er sich lange Zeit vom Munde abgespart hat, ändert sich sein Leben schlagartig. Er wird nun von seiner Umwelt wahrgenommen, und seine Kollegen veranstalten sogar ein kleines Fest für ihn und den Mantel. Dann jedoch wird er überfallen und der neue Mantel wird ihm gestohlen.

In "Phantasien und Geschichten" sind die Meisterwerke vom großen russischen Satiriker Nikolaj Gogol vereint. Inhalt: "Der Mantel" – "Memoiren eines Wahnsinnigen" – "Die Nacht vor Weihnachten", "Wie es kam, dass sich Iwan Iwanowitsch mit Iwan Nikiforowitsch entzweit hat" – "Wij, der König der Erdgeister" – "Eine Mainacht", "Ein Landjunker" – "Der Zauberer" – "Die Nase" – "Altväterliche Gutsbesitzer".

Eines Morgens findet der Barbier Iwan Jakowlewitsch eine Nase in seinem Frühstücksbrot. Sie gehört dem Kollegienassessor Kowaljow, der von nun an ohne das gute Stück in seinem Gesicht auskommen muss. Denn die Nase wandelt als eigenständiges Wesen durch St. Petersburg und hat überhaupt kein Interesse, zu seinem ursprünglichen Besitzer zurückzukehren. Die fantastische Erzählung gehört zu Gogols "Petersburger Novellen". In ihr vermischen sich wie selbstverständlich absurde Elemente mit der Realität. Klaus Stieringer erweckt die berühmte Erzählung, die ihrer Zeit weit voraus war, zum Leben.

Eine Nase entweicht ihrem Besitzer und geht promenieren; ein verarmter Maler entdeckt eine Menge Golddukaten im Rahmen eines preiswert erworbenen Porträts; -unterdrückt und gepeinigt im Beruf und hoffnungslos verliebt, flüchtet sich ein Titularrat in seine eigene Welt, der Eindruck eines normalen Menschen wandelt sich zusehends in das Bild eines hoffnungslosen Phantasten und Verrückten; - die Anschaffung eines neuen Mantels wird einem Kopisten zum Verhängnis; zwei Bauern, die ein Leben lang gute Nachbarn waren, geraten plötzlich in Streit, weil sich Iwan Iwanowitsch in den Kopf setzt, Iwan Nikiforowitschs altes Gewehr gegen sein braunes Schwein einzuhandeln.

Nachts erwacht er in seiner ärmlichen Behausung und erblickt plötzlich in Papier zusammengerollte Golddukaten, die von dem Dargestellten des Porträts zu stammen scheinen. Zuerst hält er es für einen Traum, dann entdeckt er ein Versteck im Rahmen des Bildes mit eben diesen Dukaten.

For an atheist it’s a great deal, though it does suggest atheism may have a weak point. For those of faith it’s a matter of jam now and purgatory tomorrow. A bargain many artists feel is something they can live with. For agnostics it’s usually a question of can the afterlife really be that bad, would workplace regulations reach all parts of heaven and hell. However, in this volume the terms are agreed and the Devil pays his fees and the character his dues, each happy to wait a few decades for the eternal payback.

En «El abrigo» conocemos la historia de Akaky Akakievich, un humilde oficinista ruso. Aunque su vida es simple y monótona, su mayor deseo es tener un nuevo abrigo para soportar el invierno. Después de diversos malabares para conseguir el dinero, consigue adquirir un excelente abrigo, sin sospechar que este cambiará por completo su apacible vida.

Dead Souls, Gogol's epic poem in prose, is widely regarded as an exemplar of 19th-century Russian literature. We follow Chichikov, a dismissed civil servant turned conman, through the countryside in pursuit of his shady enterprise as he arrives in the provincial town of 'N' and begins visiting various landowners to make each a strange and ghostly offer.

Enchanting, tragic, and hilarious fairy tales for adults and children grace these pages. An initial glance might lead you to assume that these are satirical versions of classic Christmas ghost stories. However, beneath the humorous stories involving ghosts, repentant sinners, miracles, and good peasants who find well-deserved happiness, lies a psychological undercurrent that sharpens the sense of intrigue and plot movement. Often this is aided by the unrelenting social exposure of the authors who always understood how intangible the "bourgeois paradise" truly was.
