Rome [Russian]

By N. Gogol

Gogol was one of the few writers who had been in his endless wanderings in the capitals of the three holy Moscow, Rome and Jerusalem, the writer, survivor of the "pilgrimage" with great power and depth. Of the three cities most favorite, no doubt, Rome: it Gogol spent four and a half years, has completed the first part of "Dead Souls", and created a lot of processed products. It is known that Gogol originally intended to write a "Roman" novel entitled "Annunziata". However, in 1841 it changed its name to "Madonna dei Fiori", and a year later, the story goes, "Rome." Changing the title showed that the theme has changed and shifted the narrative center of gravity of the story is not about a woman, but of the city. Gogol before use place names in the title of his works, for example, "Mirgorod" (1835) and "Nevsky Prospect" (1835). "Rome" closes the series. And if we accept the fact that a work of art is always a picture of the world, Gogol's story will not only study the Roman genius loci, clothed in the form of a literary work, but also an ideal.
