I am 67 years old and read Penguin publications of Gorky and Gogol at tha age of 17. I have since read many other authors and have grown to love Russian literature. I am an Australian, but I relate more to Russian literature, including Gogol, more than any other. Russians are a strong, proud and passionate people and it is reflected in their wonderful literature and music.
