Description

Taras Bulba, story by Nikolay Gogol, published in Russian in 1835 in the book Mirgorod. Set on the Ukrainian steppe, "Taras Bulba" is an epic tale of the lives of Cossack warriors. The narrative follows the exploits of an aging Cossack, Taras Bulba, and his two sons. The younger, Andriy, falls in love with a Polish noblewoman and, after joining the garrison of a Polish town besieged by the Cossacks, is caught and shot by his father. Taras himself is eventually captured by the Poles and burned alive on a commanding height while, undaunted, he urges the retreating Cossacks to escape across the Dniester River. Gogol published a revised and expanded version of the story in 1842, introducing a curious note of Great Russian nationalism and removing any suggestion that Ukraine was a country distinct from Russia. Both versions are remarkable for their anti-Polish sentiment and virulent anti-Semitism.
