Nikolai Gogol

1,948books5,385followers
People consider that Russian writer Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (袧懈泻芯谢邪泄 袙邪褋懈谢褜械胁懈褔 袚芯谐芯谢褜) founded realism in Russian literature. His works include The Overcoat (1842) and Dead Souls (1842).

Ukrainian birth, heritage, and upbringing of Gogol influenced many of his written works among the most beloved in the tradition of Russian-language literature. Most critics see Gogol as the first Russian realist. His biting satire, comic realism, and descriptions of Russian provincials and petty bureaucrats influenced later Russian masters Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev, and especially Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Gogol wittily said many later Russian maxims.

Gogol first used the techniques of surrealism and the grotesque in his works The Nose , Viy , The Overcoat , and Nevsky Prospekt . Ukrainian upbringing, culture, and folklore influenced his early works, such as Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka .
His later writing satirized political corruption in the Russian empire in Dead Souls .

The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich also known as The Squabble is an acrid and burlesque satire of the provincial life and manners鈥�
There are two neighbours and they鈥檙e old friends and their friendship is almost ideal鈥� On Sundays Ivan Ivanovich goes to church鈥μ�
鈥e finally returns home, or goes to drink a little glass of vodka with his neighbour, Ivan Nikiforovitch, or the judge, or the chief of police.
Ivan Ivanovitch is very fond of receiving presents. They please him greatly.
A very fine man too is Ivan Nikiforovitch. They are such friends as the world never saw.

Their life in the small town is strictly bucolic and almost idyllic鈥μ�
Ivan Ivanovitch is tall and thin: Ivan Nikiforovitch is rather shorter in stature, but he makes it up in thickness. Ivan Ivanovitch鈥檚 head is like a radish, tail down; Ivan Nikiforovitch鈥檚 like a radish with the tail up. Ivan Ivanovitch lolls on the balcony in his shirt sleeves after dinner only: in the evening he dons his pelisse and goes out somewhere, either to the village shop, where he supplies flour, or into the fields to catch quail. Ivan Nikiforovitch lies all day at his porch: if the day is not too hot he generally turns his back to the sun and will not go anywhere.

One fine day Ivan Ivanovich sees in his friend鈥檚 backyard a woman carrying a gun鈥� He craves this gun madly鈥� So he goes to his neighbor and attempts to exchange the gun for his brown sow鈥� Ivan Nikiforovitch refuses鈥� Their conversation gradually turns heated and they start calling each other names鈥�
鈥淓xcuse me, Ivan Ivanovitch; my gun is a choice thing, a most curious thing; and besides, it is a very agreeable decoration in a room.鈥�
鈥淵ou go on like a fool about that gun of yours, Ivan Nikiforovitch,鈥� said Ivan Ivanovitch with vexation; for he was beginning to be really angry.
鈥淎nd you, Ivan Ivanovitch, are a regular goose!鈥�
If Ivan Nikiforovitch had not uttered that word they would not have quarrelled, but would have parted friends as usual; but now things took quite another turn. Ivan Ivanovitch flew into a rage.

They say geese saved Rome鈥� In this case goose ruined friendship鈥� And eventually it destroyed both men鈥檚 lives.
If one鈥檚 life lacks problems one is always capable to create them out of nothing.

If in the heat of an argument you call your neighbor and your dearest friend a dreaded word unfit for polite ears - a 鈥済oose鈥�, if you must know - you can expect all hell to break loose. There will be deep resentments, and pointed construction of a goose shed, and destruction of that goose shed under the cover of night, and a criminally thieving pig, and decades-long resentments and litigation.

I mean, what else can have you occupied so well in a sleepy provincial town with little in the way of entertainment?

Nikolai Gogol, when not writing that brutal , was apparently a funny guy of Russian literature when he wanted to be (well, until he went a bit insane in his middle age, but that鈥檚 neither here nor there), and The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich is a fine example of this 鈥� a bit of an absurdist farce mixed with a bit of slapstick physical comedy and a side dish of fine satire, and it鈥檚 delightful.

Yes, it鈥檚 clearly a story from a time and culture very different to ours, almost two centuries ago. There are some words that are archaic, and the societal norms are odd, and life itself has moved on. But what remains scarcely changed is human pettiness, which this story presents in spades.

I found a few free translations online, and sadly they cannot really convey many of the finer bits of the story - and one randomly (or prudishly???) omits the mention of Ivan Nikiforovich engaging in that fateful goose quarrel while buck-naked. Colloquialisms and some wordplay get lost in translation, but that鈥檚 inevitable, I suppose. The original though is still quite lovely.

3.5 stars.

Okay, for my second short story of Nikolay Gogol this week, I went the Full Boris. Yes, I immersed myself totally by listening to Russian Male Choir music on Spotify and asked my friends to refer to me as Mark Robertovich Portonovich, admittedly with limited success. But being a sensible man 鈥� I drew the line at wearing a Cossack Costume down the Cairns Esplanade 鈥� I don鈥檛 need to be mocked and ridiculed. No time for that.

How Ivan Ivanovich quarrelled with Ivan Nikiforovich (or How the Two Ivans Quarrelled) is a superbly farcical, bitterly funny, study of the absurd. Oh my, what is there not to love about these Russian (well, Gogol was Ukrainian 鈥� an important distinction) authors? Gogol, plays on a landscape of infuriatingly moribund bureaucracy, populated by grotesquely hilarious characters, many of the most hideous are corpulent, he always describes physical attributes in wicked detail.



Little feet like cushions, a figure like a small tub, scandalmonger, swore like a trooper is a typical Gogol description 鈥� this one of an infuriatingly bossy woman who rocked up at Ivan Nikiforich鈥檚 periodically, stayed for a day or two or many months and took charge of his place. Even to the point of scrubbing the poor man鈥檚 naked body with vinegar and turpentine when he had a cold. He, an otherwise, large and in-charge individual, totally submitted to this overbearing interloper.



Gogol - Look at the glint in his eye, mischief personified. Imagine chatting, laughing and gobbling down Potato Piroshki with this bloke

This story is about two important personages who live in a rural community, they鈥檙e quite wealthy, well known in the community and are famous for being the best of friends. They live next door to each other, they walk each other to church on Sundays, pop around to each other鈥檚 houses and are pretty much inseparable.

However, things turn south when Ivan Ivanovich peeps over his best friend鈥檚 fence one day and notices an old rifle. Ivan (I) immediately walks around to Ivan (N)鈥檚 house (who happens to be lying completely naked in his loungeroom trying to escape the heat 鈥� the description of this individual is hilarious) and offers him two bags of oats and a brown sow for the rifle. Ivan (N) will have none of it, he wants to keep it 鈥� this enrages Ivan (I), they exchange mild barbs for a while. The well-spoken Ivan (I) mainly being offended by the less sophisticated Ivan (N)鈥檚 blasphemous language.

The 鈥渍别驳辞迟颈补迟颈辞苍鈥� culminates in Ivan (N) calling Ivan (I) a GOOSE. This causes great offence to Ivan (I) resulting in a total fall out and nuclear acrimony. Court petitions, vandalism of property, verbal insults follow.

Petitions are presented to the local judiciary. The court scenes were just hilarious, a real riot of inefficiency and bloated incompetence. It鈥檚 Kafka-esque, over-administration at its best 鈥� run by an amusing judge who incidentally had a permanent line of snuff stuck to his upper lip. The scene when the judge persistently offered Ivan (I) a cup of tea, almost made me wet myself. It went on and on, it鈥檚 even making me laugh right now thinking about it.

This author is quite simply magic. He takes the mundane then introduces some sort of event or person who disrupts the whole show 鈥� things fall apart in the most ludicrous ways imaginable. I can imagine Gogol had a wicked smirk on his face when scribbling these stories 鈥� he would be a real hoot to hang around I reckon.

Andrei Synavsky, author of In Gogol鈥檚 Shadow, once described Gogol鈥檚 prose in the following way:
It has its content and even, if you wish, its subject in itself鈥攖his prose which steps forth in the free image of speech about facts not worth mentioning, speech in a pure sense about nothing.
鈥漇peech in a pure sense about nothing.鈥� This phrase makes me think about Gogol鈥檚 prose鈥攁t least some of it鈥攂ut it makes me think of two other things just as much: jazz improvisation and Seinfeld.

If I had to pick one Gogol story that made me think about jazz improvisation, about 鈥渢he free image of speech about facts not worth mentioning,鈥� about the dialogue of a typical Seinfeld episode, that story would be 鈥淭he Story of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich.鈥�

The Ivans, landowners and friends who have lived next to each other for years, begin quarreling almost literally about nothing: Ivanovich, desiring to purchase a gun Nikiforovich owns, presses him too hard, and Nikoforovich calls Ivanovich a 鈥済oose.鈥� And from this and this only arises hurt feelings, titanic emotions, untrammeled invective, lawsuits, and irreconcilable differences.

Of course, more than a few laughs arise too. But for us, not (alas!) for the two Ivans.

Here鈥檚 an excerpt. It is an extract from a petition submitted to the Mirgorod local court by Ivan Ivanovitch, outlining the aforesaid heinous conduct of Ivan Nikoforovich:
鈥漈his gentleman, Ivan, son of Nikifor, Dovgochkhun, when I came to him with friendly offers, publicly called me by a name offensive to me and defaming to my honor, namely 鈥済oose,鈥� whereas it is known to the whole Mirgorod region that I have hitherto in no way ever been called, and no intention of being called, this vile animal. And the proof of my noble origin is that the day of my birth, and equally well the baptism I received, have been recorded in the register of the Church of the Three Hierarchs. The 鈥済oose,鈥� as is known to all who are at least somewhat versed in science, cannot be recorded in a register, for a 鈥済oose鈥� is not a person but a bird, which fact is positively known to everyone, even if they have not gone to school. But the said malignant gentleman, being informed of all this, with no other purpose than that of occasioning me an offense mortifying to my rank and estate, did abuse me with the said vile word.鈥�

TUZENBAKH [holds up a finger to her]. Laugh! [To VERSHININ] Not only in two or three hundred years but in a million years life will be just the same; it doesn't change, it remains stationary, following its own laws which we have nothing to do with or which, anyway, we'll never find out. Migratory birds, cranes for instance, fly backwards and forwards, and whatever ideas, great or small, stray through their minds, they'll still go on flying just the same without knowing where or why. They fly and will continue to fly, however philosophic they may become; and it doesn't matter how philosophical they are so long as they go on flying. . . .

MASHA. But still, isn't there a meaning?

TUZENBAKH. Meaning. . . . Here it's snowing. What meaning is there in that? [A pause.]

MASHA. I think man ought to have faith or ought to seek a faith, or else his life is empty, empty. . . . To live and not to understand why cranes fly; why children are born; why there are stars in the sky. . . . You've got to know what you're living for or else it's all nonsense and waste [a pause].

VERSHININ. And yet you're sorry when your youth is over, . . .

MASHA. Gogol says: it's dull living in this world, friends!

TUZENBAKH. And I say: it is difficult to argue with you, friends. Oh, well, I give up. . . .

from , by

And that's how I remembered I had this short story on my to-read list.

Que lectura tan mas extra帽a, que si bien no fue de todo mi agrado debo reconocer que tiene aspectos literarios muy buenos, como la s谩tira social hacia la amistad, la ineptitud e inoperancia del sistema judicial, la fragilidad de nuestras relaciones humanas, que las m谩s fuertes o las que parecen mejor cimentadas pueden ser las m谩s d茅biles y que se llegan a derrumbar ante la situaci贸n m谩s absurda.

En este texto conocemos como dos amigos de toda la vida y vecinos discuten por algo tan rid铆culo y es donde termina su amistad, esto llega a los tribunales ya que cada quien expone una denuncia hacia el otro, pero en la inoperancia de los jueces pierden una de las denuncias y obviamente reciben amenazas del afectado, es as铆 como el tribunal ayudado por la sociedad intentan reconciliar a los dos amigos para evitar problemas legales, esto no da resultado ya que la ruptura fue algo irreparable y el tribunal opta por alargar el proceso para no verse afectados ellos, dejando en la miseria a nuestros dos protagonistas. El final es abierto y tal vez fue lo que m谩s me defraudo.

Debo decir que disfrute mucho la lectura pero le falt贸 algo a la historia, principalmente el final no fue de mi agrado y lo que tienen estos cuentos rusos es que muchas veces mientras los lees o los terminas de leer puede que no te ense帽en o dejen mucho, pero conforme empiezas a analizarlos profundamente te das cuenta de muchas cosas, en este caso la corrupci贸n de las instituciones, la fragilidad de nuestras relaciones sociales, nuestra inseguridad hasta a nuestros propios amigos, la hipocres铆a de la sociedad.

Sin duda un muy buen texto que se lee muy r谩pido y distrae, hay mejores pero este no es malo.

Este corto librito es uno de los mejores que he le铆do jam谩s. Es la primera vez que tengo contacto con una obra de Nikolai Gogol y ciertamente no ser谩 la 煤ltima, su estilo, su prosa su manera de relatar la historia me han fascinado por completo, tanto que ya estoy agendando la lectura de otras obras m谩s extensas de este excelso autor.

El libro narra la historia de dos amigos que por una cuesti贸n absolutamente balad铆 se enfrentan y terminan demand谩ndose mutuamente ante los tribunales. El enfrentamiento raya lo absurdo y es descrito con absoluta maestr铆a por Gogol. Al principio me cost贸 un poco acostumbrarme al estilo narrativo pues resulta bastante peculiar, no es una narraci贸n en tercera persona omnisciente al estilo corriente ni una en primera persona protagonista. La narraci贸n en tercera persona lo realiza un sujeto testigo de los acontecimientos, inicialmente no pude distinguir bien qui茅n pod铆a ser el narrador, hasta que algunas expresiones y referencias en primera persona me llevaron a percatarme que quien narraba la historia no era otro que el mismo Gogol.

Un punto que me llam贸 la atenci贸n radica en lo interminable del pleito mutuo de los dos ex-amigos, con el tribunal prometiendo dictar sentencia "ma帽ana" o "la semana que viene", siendo que el ma帽ana y la semana que viene nunca llegan, extendi茅ndose este pleito por m谩s de diez a帽os, es como si en el siglo XIX Gogol hubiera visto la realidad del Poder Judicial paraguayo, 驴o es que no hay pa铆s en el mundo en el cual los tribunales hagan su trabajo dentro de un tiempo razonable?

Espero con ansias la pr贸xima lectura de este genial autor.

An old friendship is spoiled over nothing, but Gogol mixes this sad, realistic tale with nostalgia and laughter, too. Gogol brings in the other citizens of the town, the courts, the law, and a brown sow who eats legal documents.

Woody Allen has a well-known predilection for Russian literature. When you read this book, you will notice the heavy influence that Gogol and the other big Russians had on Allen's films. This novella, along with Gogol's other short works, is far superior to his "masterpiece" Dead Souls. A carefully constructed work of absurdity and satire that involves 2 lifelong best friends who end up in an epic, almost slapstick courtroom battle over one man calling the other 'a goose'. Sounds like a ridiculous premise, obviously, but Gogol's masterful use of awkward confrontations and physical comedy make it a far more entertaining and refreshingly less somber read than most Russian literature (with the exception of Bulgakov perhaps, who took Gogol's formula and perfected it nearly a century later), without sacrificing any of the penetrating psychological observations of 19th century aristocratic Russian society that he and his contemporaries were so darn good at.

But mostly it's just hilarious.

A real treat to read. The Squabble hits with charm and wit and likability almost at all times. It's tightly told and there's an impressive balancing act it does between keeping its premise and message simple and opening up complexity for it. it is a feat that it never lets the commonality of its premise slip into banality and cliche. It instead is driven further home by the relatability of the petty friend feud it depicts. The characters never teeter between cartoony and realistic; instead, bafflingly, they're both at once. The farce never gets too big for its britches no matter how farcical the story gets. And in a stylistic flourish it successfully manages a stark tone change on the last few pages to top off the perfect bleakly humorous ending. A great story to be read in any form.
This comes with two other and shorter stories. The story following the Squabble, Olde-World Landowners, shows Gogol's flexibility in how completely different it is from The Squabble. It's a soft, emotional moody piece and a great story in its own right. The final story The Carriage doesn't quite work. It's a very brief piece that seems to serve no purpose other than its sitcom joke ending. This one is a speck next to the other two. I'm definitely interested in reading more Gogol. I'm not sure why my interest in Bulgakov hadn't sent me here sooner.
