The works of Gogol on this CD are: Dead Souls, Taras Bulba, The Inspector General, and St. John's Eve Other Russian authors included: Dostoeyevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Pushkin, Turgenev, Andreyev, Gorky, Kuprin, and Lermontov. Plus the full text of two "Country Studies" -- Russia and Belarus (birthplace of Gogol) , which were originally published as printed books by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress between 1987 and 1995 under a program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Army. Each country study is presented as a single document, plain text form -- easy to read, to print, and to search (rather than as a collection of over 100 separate documents for each book, that you could find on the Web).
