关于此电子书

This is a new translation from the original Russian manuscript of Gogol's work "Nights at the Villa". This edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Gogol's life and works and an Index of Gogol's individual works. “Nights at the Villa” is a thoroughly autobiographical work. The “Villa” is referring to the Roman country villa of Princess Z. Volkonskaya , where in April - May 1839 the twenty-three-year-old count died of consumption IVielgorsky, who had recently arrived in Rome, in the retinue of the heir, together with A. Tolstoy and Zhukovsky Vielgorsky. His dying, attractive character and dying friendship with Gogol, who looked after him, found a response both in memoirs and in epistolary literature - in letters, including from Gogol himself.
