Taras Bulba is a historical religious novel by a Ukrainian-born Russian novelist, humorist, and dramatist Nikolai Gogol. The father of modern Russian realism, Gogol created his longest short story of an old Zaporozhian Cossack, which describes an old warrior, a romantic ideal, who lived by the Dnieper River in the sixteenth century. Bulba leads a Cossack revolt against the Catholic Poles, a violent confrontation that ends deplorably for him. A spectacular and brutal story of the horrors of war.
