Then I drink tea or coffee.I have lunch at about 12 o'clock. It starts with fruit juice. Then I have a vegetable salad and sandwiches again or pies with tea.Dinner is at three or four o'clock.

Nikolai Gogol, a famous Russian writer, is one of the great masters of prose and drama in Russian classical literature. Nikolai Gogol was born on March 20 (April 1), 1809 in the family of landowner Vasily Gogol-Yanovsky Afanasyevich in the village of Sorochyntsy (Poltava province). He came from an old Ukrainian Cossack family and was a descendant of the famous Cossack Ostap Gogol, who was at the end of the XVII century Hetman of the right-Bank Ukraine.           Gogol was an unusual and interesting person, for example, he had a passion for needlework: he knitted shawls, cut dresses for his sisters, and sewed scarves for himself. He cooked well and treated his friends to dumplings and dumplings. Gogol wrote poor essays at school, he was very weak in languages and made progress only in drawing and Russian literature. Gogol often rolled balls of white bread when writing. He told his friends that it helped him solve difficult problems. He always had sweets in his pockets. He saved up sugar lumps, hid them, and then chewed them while working or talking. Gogol's literary fame was brought by the collection of works "Evenings on a farm near Dikanka" (1831-1832), rich in Ukrainian ethnographic and folklore material, marked by romantic mood, lyricism and humour. The source of the plot for Gogol's play "The inspector" was a real event in the city of Ustyuzhne, Novgorod province, and the author was told about what happened there by Pushkin. The history of his native Ukraine was one of Gogol's favourite Hobbies and activities. It was these studies that prompted him to write the epic novel "Taras Bulba". It was first published in the collection "Mirgorod" and in 1835, one copy of this magazine Gogol personally handed over to Mr A. Uvarov - the Minister of education, the latter gave it to Emperor Nicholas I.

Николай Васильевич Гоголь, известный русский писатель, - один из великих мастеров прозы и драматургии в русской классической литературе. Николай Гоголь родился 20 марта (1 апреля) 1809 года в семье помещика Василия Гоголя-Яновского Афанасьевича в селе Сорочинцы Полтавской губернии. Он происходил из старинного украинского казацкого рода и был потомком знаменитого казака Остапа Гоголя, который был в конце XVII века гетманом Правобережной Украины. Гоголь был необычным и интересным человеком, например, у него была страсть к рукоделию: он вязал платки, кроил платья для сестер, шил себе шарфы. Он хорошо готовил и угощал своих друзей варениками и пельменями. Гоголь писал плохие сочинения в школе, он был очень слаб в языках и делал успехи только в рисовании и русской литературе. Гоголь часто катал шарики белого хлеба, когда писал. Он говорил своим друзьям, что это ему решать сложные задачи. В карманах у него всегда были сладости. Он копил кусочки сахара, прятал их, а потом жевал, во время работы или разговора. Литературную славу Гоголю принес сборник произведений "Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки" (1831-1832), богатый украинским этнографическим и фольклорным материалом, отмеченный романтическим настроением, лиризмом и юмором. Источником сюжета для пьесы Гоголя "Ревизор" послужило реальное событие в городе Устюжне Новгородской губернии, и автору рассказывал о том, что там произошло Пушкин. История родной Украины была одним из любимых увлечений и занятий Гоголя. Именно эти занятия побудили его написать эпический роман "Тарас Бульба". Впервые он был опубликован в сборнике "Миргород."  В 1835 году один экземпляр этого журнала Гоголь лично передал г-ну А. Уварову - министру народного просвещения, а тот передал его императору Николаю I.
