About this ebook
This is a new translation from the original Russian manuscript of Gogol's 1847 Reflections on the Divine Liturgy (Размышления о Божественной Литургии) . This edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Gogol's life and works and an Index of Gogol's individual works. This is Gogol’s explanation of the Liturgy. Deeply personal and introspective, Gogol's reflections reveal his profound spiritual beliefs and his reverence for the liturgical practices of his faith- a faith which was at odds with much of his artwork. Here Gogol sided with Dostoevsky against Tolstoy’s Schopenhauer-inspired metaphysics. This is not to be confused with the work with the exact same title by the Priest and philosopher Pavel Florensky.

Gogol's blend of realism, grotesque, and absurdism had a profound influence on Russian and world literature.
