果戈里焚稿

On N.Gogol’s Burning Manuscript

《死魂灵》是果戈里在创作上达到顶峰的标志。而果戈里在创作《死魂灵》第二部时却两次焚稿,这震憾了世界文坛。焚稿固然是他思想矛盾和精神痛楚交加造成的,但人们从中可以看到,一个严肃的作家是如何看待自己作品的价值,如何看待自己的社会责任的。

The novel Dead Souls marks the peak of Gogol＇ s writing career. However, Gogol burned his manuscript twice when he was writing the second volume of Dead Souls, which shocked the literary circle of the world. The reason of his burning the manuscript was because of his contradictory thought and mental suffering. On the other hand, people can see how a serious writer looks upon the value of his works as well as his own social responsibility.
