As autumn turns crisp and the wind bites right through your soul like it's blowing down another barren avenue, leaves billowing in its wake and long shadows of trees stretching out as if to drag you back into the wildness of the night, my mind always returns to the story Viy from Nikolai Gogol. Combining Ukrainian folklore with his own fresh invention, Gogol鈥檚 Viy is a legitimately terrifying tale of witches and goblins assailing a frightened, young Monastery student made to stand solitary vigil for three nights over the corpse of a girl. A girl who鈥檚 demise came at his own hands, a girl who rises from the casket in the dark to summon a tempest of terrors around the young philosopher who must hope his circle of protection or his heart, beating rapidly as it is beleaguered by horrors, don鈥檛 give out. A favorite spooky story with writing that is so seasonally crisp in the mind you鈥檇 swear the words arrive like the satisfying crunch of autumn leaves under the steady footfalls of an approaching monster, Viy is a lasting classic of folk horror and fun.
鈥�Weary to death, he began to repeat all the prayers which he knew, and all the formulas of exorcism against evil spirits鈥�鈥�
When I was 19 I applied to work at a restaurant and one of the interview questions was 鈥渋f you had endless money to complete a project, what would you use it for.鈥� I responded that I would make a full-length film adaptation of Gogol鈥檚 Viy using Jim Henson puppets. Which鈥asn鈥檛 reason to deny me the job so hey, Henson studio, hit me up. This eerily excellent story of Khoma the young philosopher鈥檚 three nights of terror with the reanimated corpse of a witch originally appeared alongside in Gogol鈥檚 1835 collection . Before writing the surreal and comically absurdist stories he is best known for, such as or , Gogol wrote primarily about Ukrainian provincial life. Like his later stories, these Ukrainian tales also contain a great deal of whimsical humor and skews life into grotesqueries that better reveal the human condition and landscape of moral actions using folklore and rural society instead of the lampooning of bureaucracy that he would turn to later. While living in St. Petersburg, Gogol would asking for details on Ukrainian customs and countryside culture and tales and it is clear these early stories are a heartfelt attempt at bringing his heritage to the wider world of readers.
Viy draws on many aspects of Slavic folklore. The trope of the 鈥渙ld hag鈥� that transforms into a beautiful young girl and the depiction of witches that add an element of fear by highlighting sexual agency in a old, childless, outcast (which is unfortunately a rather misogynistic tradition and 鈥檚 In Defense of Witches is a great read on the subject) is a large part of folklore with witches like Baba Yaga being a common feature in those tales. As are the many goblins and ghouls we find, though the titular Viy is of particular note. In his introduction for the story Gogol pulls a little trick on the reader and attempts to frame him as a figure of legend:
While Viy has lived on as the infamous king of gnomes, scholars have found no evidence of him appearing prior to this tale and is likely a product of Gogol鈥檚 invention. Which is an aspect of his storytelling I鈥檝e always really enjoyed as Gogol tends to frame his tales as secondhand retellings, as if the author himself is relating to us over a pint or around a fire some story that had been related to him and it pulls us closer into the story with the fictional insistence of it as true. Which would be quite terrifying here because, as we soon learn, demons walk amongst us and the dead can rise to chase us.
鈥�Raising his voice, he started to sing in different voices, wishing to muffle the remains of his fear. But every moment he kept turning his eyes to the coffin, as if involuntarily asking the question: 鈥淲hat if she gets up, if she rises?鈥�
But the coffin did not stir. If only there had been some sound, some living creature, even a cricket making an answering sound in the corner! All that could be heard was the slight crackling of a distant candle or the faint plopping sound of a drop of wax falling to the floor.
鈥淲hat if she gets up?鈥︹€�
She lifted her head.鈥�
Still from the
This is such a terrific and terrifying tale. Starting with a bit of humor as we see the bumbling students leaving the Monastery school for summer, spreading like locusts over the countryside to eat all they can scrounge by begging or stealing (it is implied the students are rather impoverished) only for this trio of mischief makers to find their way to the remote lodgings of an elderly woman. Separated in order to sleep, the old woman comes to Khoda in the night for what is less amorous adventures but something more like equestrian adventure as she betwitches him and rides him like a faithful steed ( would later nod to this scene in his novel The Master and Margarita). Misadventures abound lead Khoda to his three night trials and tribulations where the real terror begins and this is a story that had me white-knuckled and gripped the whole way through. Each turn of the page only turns up the tension as a cavalcade of horrors descend upon the church, growing in intensity every night. The first time I read it I went out for an evening stroll and into the autumn wind and鈥mmediately decided against it. Because who knows if Viy is out there鈥�
鈥�A sudden silence followed; the howling of wolves was heard in the distance, and soon heavy footsteps resounded through the church. Thomas looked up furtively and saw that an ungainly human figure with crooked legs was being led into the church. He was quite covered with black soil, and his hands and feet resembled knotted roots. He trod heavily and stumbled at every step. His eyelids were of enormous length.鈥�
An excellent seasonal read that heaps on the scaries as we try to survive phantasmagoria alongside the philosopher. Viy has long been a favorite story of mine. A wonderful tale steeped in folklore and the tradition of the supernatural existing alongside ordinary rural life, Gogol crafted a story that feels just as provocative and frightening as it did nearly 200 years ago. And now you can share in the fun and read the whole thing . Happy Halloween!

First time I heard The Viy read to me by my grandfather when I didn鈥檛 even know the alphabet. When I was a schoolboy I read it few times. Last time I read it about seven years ago.
Of course there are plenty of more frightening tales but this story is told in the uniquely colourful language and it manages to create a unique atmosphere of mysterious verisimilitude.
But the most winning is the quizzical and teasing stance of the author.
Even after the ages of civilized life, our primordial fears are still with us.

Recensione Ebook in inglese
A classical creepy short story.
Wanted to read this classic since I've seen the "Viy" 2015 horror movie (as you can see by the gifs) and I was not disappointed at all. I've read it on my kindle in just one session, liked Gogol's style, the story and the chilling atmosphere: the daughter of a russian colonel, thought being a vampire by villagers, asks before passing that young philosophe Thomas Brutus pray near her coffin for 3 nights... they are going to be three real long nights for the poor seminarist. An escalation of terror until the appearing of the Viy.
A great gothic tale higly recommended to anyone.

Nikolaj Vasil'evi膷 Gogol
Vij di Nikolaj Vasil'evi膷 Gogol, apparso per la prima volta nel 1835 all'interno di Mirgorod, raccolta di racconti brevi ispirati al mondo ucraino, narra la storia e le disavventure del giovane studente di filosofia Chom脿 Brut che, tra vecchie fattucchiere, giovani ed affascinanti defunte sospettate di stregoneria o peggio, notti di veglie, preghiere e terrore, si trover脿 a precipitare, ed il lettore con lui, in una spirale di tensione ed emozioni, passando pi霉 di un brutto quarto d鈥檕ra, che potrebbe alla fine costargli molto caro.
Tuttavia, nelle di lei fattezze non v'era alcunch茅 di scialbo, di fosco, di morto. Il viso era vivo, e il filosofo ebbe la sensazione che ella lo guardasse dagli occhi chiusi. Financo gli parve che una lagrima fosse scesa dalle ciglia dell'occhio destro, e allorch茅 si ferm貌 su una guancia, egli senza meno cap矛 che si trattava d'una goccia di sangue.
Avevo gi脿 letto e riletto Vij pi霉 di una volta in passato, tra antologie varie che lo contenevano ed ebook in lingua inglese trovati in offerta a prezzo stracciato su Amazon, ma questa edizione illustrata ad opera di Abeditore era troppo bella per non entrare a far parte anch鈥檈ssa della mia sempre crescente collezione libraria ossessivo compulsiva e maniacale.
All鈥檌nizio mi sono trovato ad arrancare nella lettura a causa del linguaggio desueto scelto per questo adattamento, anche l'orrendo font utilizzato fa parte di una scelta stilistica ben precisa e si vede, va comunque lodato il lavoro svolto dal Kollektiv Ubyanov, branca dei Wu Ming, per dare a questa edizione un tocco vintage che la distingue dalle precedenti.
Fatica che fortunatamente diminuiva fino a svanire man mano che proseguivo nella mia ennesima rilettura di questo classico: una splendida fiaba dell'orrore, un racconto popolare fantastico, onirico e grottesco, che emoziona ed intrattiene con la sua ironia dolceamara, tra alti e bassi, dalla prima all'ultima pagina.
Tutto era uguale. Tutto aveva la medesima, minaccevole parvenza. Egli s'arrest貌 per un attimo. Nel mezzo, ancora immota giaceva la bara della mostruosa strega. 芦Dio m'assista, non ho paura, non ho paura!禄 disse e, tracciato il consueto cerchio attorno a s茅, cominci貌 a rammentare tutti i suoi scongiuri. Il silenzio era atroce; le candele tremolavano e spandevano la luce loro nella chiesa intera.
E le splendide illustrazioni che corredano la versione in lingua originale dell鈥檕pera, inclusa nella seconda met脿 del libro, sono semplicemente una meraviglia.
Se non l'avete ancora fatto, compratelo a scatola chiusa e magari, gi脿 che ci siete, guardatevi uno degli splendidi film ad esso ispirati: in primis quel capolavoro che 猫 La Maschera del Demonio (1960) di Mario Bava, ma anche il pi霉 recente Viy - La maschera del demonio (2014), distribuito qualche anno fa in un'edizione pregiata dalla Midnight Factory, si lascia guardare che 猫 un piacere ed 猫, a mio parere, l鈥檃dattamento cinematografico pi霉 fedele basato sul classico di Gogol.
In definitiva, un classico dell鈥檕rrore intramontabile, in tutte le sue versioni, che non posso esimermi dal consigliare a tutti gli appassionati.

No existe g茅nero literario que Nik贸lai G贸gol no haya abordado con maestr铆a. Todo lo hac铆a bien. Incursion贸 en la narrativa de la novela, que alcanz贸 su punto consagratorio con 鈥淎lmas Muertas鈥�, escribi贸 obras de teatro como su genial obra rebosante de s谩tira que se llam贸 鈥淓l Inspector鈥�, escribi贸 una novela hist贸rica ambientada en la 茅poca de los cosacos, conocida como 鈥淭ar谩s Bulba鈥� y muy especialmente escribi贸 todo tipo de cuentos, que adem谩s ten铆an las caracter铆sticas m谩s variadas: desde el absurdo extremo en 鈥淟a Nariz鈥� hasta un cuento emblem谩tico como 鈥淓l Capote鈥�, con un personaje como Akaki Akakievich, cuyas caracter铆sticas definir铆a a otros como Bartleby, el escribiente, de Herman Melville, Wakefield de Nathaniel Hawthorne y hasta Gregor Samsa de Franz Kafka.
Dentro del cuento desarroll贸 dos etapas, la ucraniana y la petersburguesa y como comentaba previamente abord贸 todo tipo de tem谩ticas, incluidas las del cuento fant谩stico (aunque de corte existencial, 鈥淓l Capote鈥� tiene fuertes connotaciones fant谩sticas al final) y para redondear su brillantez, escribi贸 este relato, 鈥淰iy鈥�, a partir de una f谩bula folkl贸rica ucraniana acerca de un duende 鈥渃uyos p谩rpados llegan hasta el suelo鈥�, y aunque el mismo G贸gol aclara que 鈥淰iy es una colosal creaci贸n de la imaginaci贸n popular. No quise introducir ning煤n cambio y la cuento casi con la misma sencillez que me fue contada鈥�, me cuesta creer que no haya incorporado elementos literarios de su genial inventiva para transformarlo en un aut茅ntico cuento de terror.
Aunque Viy aparece reci茅n al final, todo el cuento gira a trav茅s de la experiencia que sufre un estudiante llamado Jom谩 Brut luego de conocer a una hermosa muchacha que en realidad es una bruja, pues como dice el acervo popular ucraniano 鈥漷odas las mujeres que pueblan el mercado de Kiev son brujas, todas brujas鈥�.
Realmente uno como lector se queda casi tan petrificado como el mismo Jom谩 puesto que mientras lo le铆a me imaginaba a esta bruja, con sus ojos ardiendo como el fuego y me pasaban por la cabeza personajes de cine como el de Meghan en la pel铆cula 鈥淓l Exorcista鈥� o la ni帽a de 鈥淟a llamada鈥�.
Es un cuento corto, se lee r谩pidamente en primer lugar por su corta extensi贸n y en segundo t茅rmino porque lo absorbe a uno con tanto poder que no se logra levantar la vista de las p谩ginas hasta que termina de leerse.
隆Qu茅 grande que es G贸gol y qu茅 poder de persuasi贸n logra en el lector con cuentos como 茅ste!
Ya no me quedan m谩s palabras de admiraci贸n para semejante genio鈥�

Viy, a novella included in Migorod (1835), is in many respects a typical tale of Gogol鈥檚 Ukrainian period: based loosely on folk tradition, it incorporates vivid supernatural elements, and, although its jazzy improvisatory prose extends its riffs for too many bars (to continue the jazz metaphor), occasionally dissipating its own power in the process, it is still so original in style, so dazzling in its effects, that it can still stake a claim to be considered a masterpiece.
It begins in typical folktale fashion: three wandering university students鈥攁 theologian, a rhetorician, and a philosopher鈥攕eek lodging for the night at the house of an old woman. This woman, a witch who can transform her appearance, leads the young philopsopher Khoma Brut on a journey that involves him in the exorcism of a wealthy Cossack鈥檚 dead daughter and the eventual confrontation with the formidable 鈥渢he Viy.鈥�
鈥淭he Viy,鈥� AKA 鈥淜ing of the Gnomes,鈥� is indeed really something: an all-seeing demon with a face of iron and eyelids that reach to the ground. (Gogol claims he is a figure of folklore, but scholars cannot find him in the Ukrainian tradition. Odds are Gogol created the demon Viy himself.) But, for my representative passage, I prefer to include an earlier passage where Khoma Brut, carrying the old witch on his back, experiences her transformation into a beautiful young woman. Notice the growing eroticism of the passage:
The perspiration flowed from him in streams; he experienced simultaneously a strange feeling of oppression and delight in all his being. Often he felt as though he had no longer a heart, and pressed his hand on his breast with alarm.
Weary to death, he began to repeat all the prayers which he knew, and all the formulas of exorcism against evil spirits. Suddenly he experienced a certain relief. He felt that his pace was slackening; the witch weighed less heavily on his shoulders . . . .
Then suddenly he wrenched himself away from under the witch, and sprang on her back in his turn. She began to run, with short, trembling steps indeed, but so rapidly that he could hardly breathe. So swiftly did she run that she hardly seemed to touch the ground. . . . He seized a stick that was lying on the ground, and began to belabor the hag with all his might. She uttered a wild cry, which at first sounded raging and threatening; then it became gradually weaker and more gentle, till at last it sounded quite low like the pleasant tones of a silver bell, so that it penetrated his innermost soul. Involuntarily the thought passed through his mind:鈥淚s she really an old woman?鈥�
鈥淎h! I can go no farther,鈥� she said in a faint voice, and sank to the earth.
He knelt beside her, and looked in her eyes. The dawn was red in the sky, and in the distance glimmered the gilt domes of the churches of Kiev. Before him lay a beautiful maiden with thick, dishevelled hair and long eyelashes. Unconsciously she had stretched out her white, bare arms, and her tear-filled eyes gazed at the sky.
Khoma trembled like an aspen-leaf. Sympathy, and a strange feeling of excitement, and a hitherto unknown fear overpowered him. He began to run with all his might. His heart beat violently, and he could not explain to himself what a strange, new feeling had seized him. He did not wish to return to the village, but hastened towards Kiev, thinking all the way as he went of his weird, unaccountable adventure.

I watched a wild fantasy film produced in the Ukraine in 2014 called Forbidden Empire and it鈥檚 original title was Viy. Lo and behold! The film was based on this 1835 short story by Gogol. So I had to read the story.
The film was loosely based on the story (and I see that there was another film from 2018 called Gogol Viy).
Essentially this is a story based upon older local legend and myth where a student meets a witch and then has to read prayers for a dead girl for three successive nights to protect her soul.
While the creepy horror story was fun, I was entranced by the description of rural life in 1830s Ukraine.

Gogol's writing is amazing. It's so atmospheric, alive and full of details, it really puts you in the time and space where the story happens. And because it's set in the land that was at the time part of the Russian Empire and is now Ukraine, I really was interested in seeing what it was like then, how the people lived and talked.
As for Viy, the story was reasonably creepy in an old-time fairy tale kind of way. Really unique aesthetic.
I'll definitely read more Gogol.

Il Vij 猫 un racconto gotico, molto particolare e d'atmosfera. La lettura parte molto in sordina, ci ritroviamo nelle strade di un paesino ucraino, con alcune considerazioni sulla vita nelle campagne e sulle tradizioni che affondano le radici in tanti anni fa, periodo dove le superstizioni sono all'ordine del giorno. E proprio in quest'atmosfera di quotidiano vivere, che il nostro protagonista, Chom脿, si trover脿 invischiato in qualcosa di pi霉 grande di lui. Qui, verso la met脿, vi 猫 un cambio di registro e la narrazione prende una piega a dir poco inquietante e la suspense non si taglia nemmeno con la pi霉 affilata sciabola del cosacco pi霉 irato di tutta la Russia.
Non so se sia stato un problema di questa traduzione o la particolare tipologia di narrazione di Gogol', ma, soprattutto all'inizio, ho avuto dei problemi nel proseguire la lettura, c'erano dei punti davvero oscuri e confusionari, dove non capivo cosa stesse succedendo e chi parlava. Prover貌 con qualche altra edizione: quella Sellerio e/o la nuovissima ed illustrata di ABEditore. Comunque poi, pian piano il tutto 猫 diventato sempre pi霉 coinvolgente e l'ansia del protagonista 猫 stata cos矛 tangibile. Mi sarebbe piaciuto leggere di pi霉 sul Vij e su tutto il mistero insito in questo racconto estremamente folklorico, li approfondir貌 con qualche altro libro...
Imprescindibile capolavoro del gotico degli albori!

El Viy/V铆, historia del folklore ucraniano, es un cuento con diferentes esp铆ritus malignos que atrapa por completo en un paisaje muy bien logrado, en el que la atm贸sfera que rodean los hechos nos mantendr谩 atentos a las vivencias de nuestro protagonista y lo que enfrenta.
Este relato fant谩stico tiene cierta carga de humor negro e ironia, que siento que funciona muy bien y es que al acompa帽arlo en lo cotidiano se burla de las desgracias, y otros temas, pero al mismo tiempo juega muy bien con la atm贸sfera terror铆fica de anta帽o y lo que rodea a las brujas m谩s cl谩sicas, pero sobre todo me encanta como va jugando y exponiendo el miedo que inunda la atormentada mente del protagonista.
Historia hija de su tiempo, pero teniendo en cuenta el contexto, como siempre debe ser cuando se lee un cl谩sico, funciona muy bien, es una historia con elementos y caracter铆sticas excelentes.
Tambi茅n le encuentro detalles desfavorables a la historia, como algo que involucra a la criatura que da nombre al relato, aunque son m铆nimos y como les har铆a spoiler si los menciono, mejor que lo descubren ustedes.

Entr茅 en esta historia sin tener conocimiento previo del folclore ruso, de las criaturas que lo componen y de las leyendas y cuentos que narran por aquellas tierras. Sab铆a que este escritor estaba considerado uno de los grandes narradores de su pa铆s y me entr贸 la curiosidad por conocer un relato desconocido en el que todo estaba por descubrir.
Y las primeras p谩ginas me resultaron tediosas, absurdas y pretensiosas. No encontraba nada en ellas que me invitaran a seguir leyendo. Los comportamientos de los personajes, sus conversaciones, unas descripciones que no llevaban a nada...todo resultaba absurdo hasta el punto de pensar que me hab铆a dejado llevar por unas expectativas demasiado altas. Entonces apareci贸 una bruja.
Y entonces, al ver ese comportamiento, esa manera de seducci贸n de la anciana capaz de cabalgar sobre los hombros de los malditos a su antojo, comenc茅 a cuadrar las piezas hasta que empec茅 a ver un cierto perfil en la novela. No era lo que pensaba pero ten铆a cierta gracia. Y ya que estaba, pues segu铆 leyendo para ver por donde saldr铆a el autor.
Fue en ese momento cuando la lectura comenz贸 a hacerse m谩s pausada. Regresas unas p谩ginas y vuelves a leer algunos pasajes que te inquietan. Te preguntas en qu茅 momento la historia trivial que estabas leyendo se hab铆a convertido en un cuento tan tenebroso y empiezas a entender que todo lo que estabas leyendo era un trampa del autor para llevarte hasta ese punto de no retorno.
Y entonces comienzas a fliparlo. Porque todo el 煤ltimo tercio del cuento es puro terror. El enfrentamiento de nuestro protagonista ante sus temores, la sensaci贸n de soledad frente al mal, el miedo a la muerte, la presencia de sonidos y movimientos inquietantes a tu alrededor, los susurros invocadores que suenan a maldici贸n y la imponente presencia de una criatura desconocida de peculiares p谩rpados hacen que esta historia se convierta en toda una sorpresa de lo m谩s divertida.
Los grandes escritores lo son por su capacidad para envolverte con sus palabras. Por sus recursos para convertirte en protagonista de lo que lees y por su eficiencia para atemorizarte cuando pensabas que estabas en un peque帽o cuento sin pretensiones.

I've come to appreciate Gogol for his biting satires of society and bureaucracy and the absurdist elements he weaves into his deliciously amusing stories. This one had potential but misses the mark, getting caught up initially in inane academic satire and then seemingly drifting without much direction.

Un racconto veloce da leggere e molto corto che non mi ha impressionato eccessivamente. E' la trasposizione letteraria di un racconto popolare, in cui notte e giorno cambiano completamente la vita del protagonista, in maniera molto drastica. Si potrebbe quasi pensare che il protagonista soffra di allucinazioni di notte e veda cose spaventose.

"Forest, meadow, sky, valleys- all seemed to be sleeping with open eyes."
Not Gogol at his best but that doesn't make it any less Gogolian - lushy writing that creates a creepy atmosphere with much Slavic folklore incorporated, I enjoyed it.

It is strange how I can read Horror novels or a Thriller and be not impressed at all, and then I decide to re-read this short tale (at day-time) and I find myself being so freaked out that I can't fall asleep.
Usually I don't mind the dead very much, or ghost or evil spirits, but the ones from this tale get under my skin every single time.
Maybe it is the simple write-style, maybe it is the eerie atmosphere that is established from the very beginning, I honestly don't know, but every time I read this tale I am really terrified.
Or it is the fact that I sometimes imagine myself standing inside an old church at night, reading prayers next to an open coffin of a witch that tried to enslave me. And c'mon, who wants to experience such a situation?!
Anyway, it is one of the scariest tales I have ever read, and I read every single one of Poe's tales and many contemporary horror novels.

Is there something Gogol couldn't write? I'm starting to doubt it. I've read his absurd comedies, I've read into Taras Bulba and now I read the Vij - a horror story. Yes, an actual horror story, and Gogol mastered it perfectly.
The story's quite short, so I'll just summarise the plot by saying that a young philosopher travels to a small city where he lives in a guesthouse, however the landlady turns out to be a witch and rides him, on his shoulder, through the night, as if she was possessing him. Finally, the philosopher manages to shake her off and beats her to death. As she's dying, she's transforming into a beautiful young girl.
Said girl turns out to be a major's daughter and her dying wish is to have the young philosopher read beneath her coffin for three nights. And every night she raises from the dead, turning into something even more awful every night.
I loved the way in which the story was written, and even though some parts were slightly tedious, the actually very comical Gogol managed to write a serious, scary story as if that was everything he wrote. Man, you gotta love Gogol!

Vi o Viy forma parte del folklore popular ucraniano, una leyenda que a Nicolai G贸gol contaron y decidi贸 plasmar all谩 por el a帽o 1835, lo hizo con la misma sencillez con la que se lo contaron.
El Vi o Viy es lo que los ucranianos designan al jefe de los gnomos, cuyos p谩rpados llegan hasta el suelo.
Cuanto menos sepas de este relato, mejor lo vas a a pasar, procura entrar a ciegas ya que son solo 96 p谩ginas.
驴Qu茅 contiene?
Brujas y seres extra帽os que se mezclar谩n con el terror m谩s humano y terrenal: el miedo.
Su principio es algo m谩s lento y tedioso, pero se paciente, porque una vez que todo se desencadene no habr谩 vuelta atr谩s y ya te digo yo que si te gusta el terror cl谩sico, esta ser谩 una buena elecci贸n lectora para ti.
Pongamos perspectiva al leerla, es un escrito de 1835, un cl谩sico.
No puedo dejar de recomendar esta edici贸n de N贸rdica Libros, profusamente ilustrada por Luis Scafati, que son bell铆simas.
Y ahora llega la parte cin茅fila, hay una adaptaci贸n f铆lmica, dir铆a m谩s bien que est谩 ligeramente adaptada 馃槄馃槄de este relato.
La pel铆cula se llama 鈥淟a maschera del demonio鈥� dirigida por Mario Bava all谩 por el a帽o 1960, es en blanco y negro y se pasa un buen rato vi茅ndola, echadle un vistazo.
Finalizo diciendo que esta lectura no esperaba que me fuese a gustar tanto, que ha sido toda una sorpresa y que sus p谩ginas finales han sido un no puedo parar de leer ya que ten铆a ese aroma a cl谩sico de terror maravilloso.

Terror cl谩sico, de la mano de Gogol, en un relato corto.
Dice que proviene de una leyenda ucraniana pero no s茅 hasta qu茅 punto es el recurso literario de "a m铆 me han contado que...". Me gusta la descripci贸n de los estudiantes como los pillos del momento que me recuerda a nuestro "estudiante de Salamanca": pobre de fondos, calavera, vividor, 谩gil de palabra.
La bruja, como antagonista principal, es la representaci贸n cl谩sica de la mujer como el mal en la tierra. Al resto de mujeres en la obra se las trata de forma similar (va la tonta y se muere).

El 鈥淰iy鈥� es una creaci贸n disparatada de la 蹿补苍迟补蝉铆补 popular ucraniana. El 鈥淰iy鈥� es el rey de los gnomos, cuyos parpados son tan largos que descienden hasta la misma tierra. El 鈥淰iy鈥� es un relato de 蹿补苍迟补蝉铆补 g贸tica, escrito por Nikolai G贸gol en la colecci贸n de cuentos Mirgorod, publicada en 1835. Al iniciar el cuento, se nos indica que se trata de una leyenda popular contada de forma sencilla; el maestro ruso nos enga帽a desde el principio, por un lado la narraci贸n es m谩s compleja de lo que parece, y por otro, la cr铆tica literaria discute la existencia de la leyenda original, para muchos tal leyenda no existe, siendo el 鈥淰iy鈥� una creaci贸n original de G贸gol. En efecto, la narraci贸n cercana al habla popular, se adornada con el estilo 煤nico de G贸gol: palabras vulgares, costumbres ucranianas, descripciones po茅ticas de los ambientes, detalles que parecen irrelevantes para la trama, un personaje insignificante protag贸nico, un 谩cido, s贸rdido y genial sentido del humor, entre otros. Pero m谩s all谩, la historia es un crescendo de emociones y circunstancias, una narraci贸n paulatina, sobria, equilibrada, que pelda帽o a pelda帽o eleva la incertidumbre hasta arrojarnos trepidantes a su inolvidable final: tres noches de rezos, susto y horror. La forma en la que se encadenan las situaciones van m谩s all谩 de una leyenda popular, quiz谩s G贸gol escuch贸 viajas historias ucranianas demoniacas y las reinvent贸, o simplemente se invent贸 todo, lo que resultar铆a apote贸sico. Ya sea el 鈥淰iy鈥� una adaptaci贸n de los mitos o una invenci贸n de la genialidad de G贸gol, lo cierto es que su estela sombr铆a se integr贸 con naturalidad entre el floklore ucraniano, y su estela literaria lo convirti贸 en referente de la 蹿补苍迟补蝉铆补 y del terror.
La trama de 鈥淰iy鈥� nos lleva Kiev para conocer a los fil贸sofos, ret贸ricos y te贸logos del seminario. Despu茅s de una extenuante jornada de camino, el fil贸sofo Joma Brut recibe una visita mientras descansa en la posada, una rusalka/bruja lanza sus hechizos para cabalgar sobre el seminarista por los confines del cielo y de la tierra, hasta que a fuerza de oraciones y exorcismos, Joma Brut invierte la situaci贸n para montar sobre la bruja. Esto es una referencia a los mitos ucranianos de 鈥渕arena鈥�, esp铆ritu de la muerte que sentada sobre el pecho de la persona dormida, le roba la vida hasta el 煤ltimo aliento. Tiempo despu茅s, el fil贸sofo es convocado por el jefe cosaco de una aldea para rezar por su hija moribunda, beldad infausta que resulta ser la hechicera con quien se enfrent贸 el seminarista, reto帽o malvado considerada un vampiro y una perdici贸n. Joma Brut se enfrentar谩 con monstruos salidos del infierno, con los 鈥渕uertos de medianoche鈥� de las supersticiones eslavas, con el propio 鈥淰iy鈥� que ser谩 convocado con sus gigantescos parpados y su voz del fondo de la tierra para se帽alar al condenado. Un relato de terror antologado como uno de los mejores del g茅nero por la intriga progresiva, su espantoso final y su estilo tan 煤nico y popular a la vez. Es que en 鈥淰iy鈥�, como en la obra primigenia de G贸gol, se siente la presencia de Ucrania, 鈥渄e toda Ucrania, con su claro cielo, sus huertos de cerezos, sus doncellas cosacas de ojos negros, su vodka, sus seminaristas, con sus supersticiones, leyes y costumbres, con el modo de vida distintivo de sus habitantes, presentes y pasados鈥�. (Yurk茅vich, 1835, p. 115). G贸gol es talento aparte, 鈥淰iy鈥� es un relato inolvidable e imperecedero.

Terrifying and unforgiving, spiced with humour and irony. If you are a fan of Disney endings, don't read Gogol's The Viy.
March 1, 2022
Me sigue gustando como en la primera lectura, sin embargo,e hubiera gustado que fuese m谩s extenso y que indagara m谩s en las criaturas y sus caracter铆sticas, poder e historia. Tambi茅n que hubiera m谩s lore. Que la historia tuviera m谩s jugo que exprimir. Pero por lo dem谩s sigue siendo excelente y es muy gratificante leer esta historia una vez m谩s. Tambi茅n por lo mismo sigo con la misma opini贸n de esta obra.
Una lectura impresionante. Que combina de una excelente manera el horror y los problemas ps铆quicos o morales. Este cuento esta lleno de contrastes narrativos a lo largo de la historia. Por un lado todo el costumbrismo de Kiev, los seminarios y los estudiantes en sus diversos rasgos, las costumbres de los cosacos, el poder de un terrateniente y, a la vez, emplea el tratamiento literario de alternar el horror y el humor (sobretodo el humor negro y el ir贸nico) a lo largo de las escenas terror铆ficas, de mezclar lo cotidiano con lo sobrenatural, de juntar lo inveros铆mil con lo posible y la frivolidad con la sencillez en el personaje principal.
.
Relato que demuestra que no se puede evitar lo que uno tiene predestinado, que se tiene que ser valiente 鈥攐 por lo menos, aparentarlo鈥� ante las adversidades. Pelear con demonios y seres espectrales (sin importar si son internos o externos), y, con fuerza, voluntad y valor: llegar a perder el miedo o sucumbir ante su poder.
