I probably would have given it 4 stars instead of 3 if someone hadn't "accidentally" spoiled everything to me.
Okay so this book is an overflow of patriotism and I get it considering when it was written. So yeah it wasn't my cup of tea but it was by Gogol so I had to read it.
It was a tragic story and the contrast between the characters was so excellently put.. One son was sentimental and kind of romantic, unlike the other son. And Taras was the most patriotic character I have ever come across.
Overall, it didn't excite me as much as other works of Gogol I've read and that makes me want to read Dead Souls even more...

Και για να το χειροτερέψω έπρεπε να το είχες διαβάσει χθές. :P

I remember being wowed by the movie version, with Yul Brener, when I was a kid, back in 60s, but of course had never heard of Gogol then. This is only work of his I haven’t read. Dead Souls is a must read, as is short story, “The Portrait.�
