This is the second volume in the "Complete tales" of Gogol. The complete tails do not include Souls of the Dead. I found "Taras Bulba," "The Portrait" and "The Tale How of Ivan Ivanovich Quarrled with Ivan Nikiforovich" as particularly interesting, instructive (Taras Bulba finally gave me an idea about the Cossacks) or hilarious. Some all at the same time. (
