[German] - Nikolai Gogol: Ausgewählte Erzählungen
Nikolai Gogol: Ausgewählte Erzählungen, gelesen von Werner Wilkening. Eine Nase entweicht ihrem Besitzer und geht promenieren; ein verarmter Maler entdeckt eine Menge Golddukaten im Rahmen eines preiswert erworbenen Porträts; -unterdrückt und gepeinigt im Beruf und hoffnungslos verliebt, flüchtet sich ein Titularrat in seine eigene Welt, der Eindruck eines normalen Menschen wandelt sich zusehends in das Bild eines hoffnungslosen Phantasten und Verrückten; - die Anschaffung eines neuen Mantels wird einem Kopisten zum Verhängnis; zwei Bauern, die ein Leben lang gute Nachbarn waren, geraten plötzlich in Streit, weil sich Iwan Iwanowitsch in den Kopf setzt, Iwan Nikiforowitschs altes Gewehr gegen sein braunes Schwein einzuhandeln. – In all den Geschichten von Nikolai Gogol geschehen seltsame und auch zunehmend unheimliche Dinge. Wie sich zeigt, hat dabei manchmal auch der Teufel seine Finger im Spiel. Gogol war ein Meister im Spiel mit Wirklichkeit und Phantasie. Er hatte einen ausgeprägten Sinn für Komik und skurrile Einfälle - und er zählt zu einem der wichtigsten ukrainischen russischsprachigen Autoren. Dieses über 10 Stunden lange Hörbuch enthält die Novellen: Die Geschichte vom großen Krakeel zwischen Iwan Iwanowitsch und Iwan Nikiforowitsch - Das Porträt - Die Nase - Der Mantel - Aufzeichnungen eines Irren - Der Newski-Prospekt. Coverabbildung nach einem Porträt des Schriftstellers Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852), N. Gogol, Replik eines Porträts von Friedrich Möller (heute Tretjakow-Galerie). Coverschrift gesetzt aus der David Libre. Schlussmusik in 'Das Porträt': freemusic.com. Schlussmusik in 'Aufzeichnungen eines Irren': Allegretto Tranquillo (Nr. 9) von Sergei Prokofjew. Schlussmusik in 'Das Porträt': freemusic.com. Schlussmusik in 'Der Mantel': Commodo (Nr. 8) von Sergei Prokofjew. Schlussmusik in Outro: freemusic.com. Der Sprecher: Werner Wilkening ist ein gestandener Sprecher mit weit mehr als 25 Jahren Erfahrung - nicht nur vor dem Mikrofon. Er bringt einiges an Bühnenerfahrung mit, ist oft in Film/Funk & Fernsehen aufgetreten und ist mit seiner unverkennbaren Stimme in zahllosen Hörbüchern des Verlages hoerbuchedition words and music zu erleben, zum Beispiel mit einer Auswahl der 'Lustigen Geschichten' von Anton Tschechow und bisher fünf Erzählungen von Nikolai W. Gogol. Damit reiht er sich ein als kongenialer Gogol-Interpret.

Wie es kam, dass sich Iwan Iwanowitsch mit Iwan Nikiforowitsch entzweit hat (Ungekürzt)
Was für ein Prachtmensch Iwan Iwanowitsch doch ist. Einen herrlichen Pelzrock hat er, ein herrliches Haus und die Honoratioren der Gegend sind seine guten Bekannten. Auch Iwan Nikiforowitsch ist ein Prachtmensch. Sein Hof grenzt an den von Iwan Iwanowitsch. Die beiden sind eng befreundet. Nun hat Iwan Iwanowitsch bei Iwan Nikiforowitsch eine wunderschöne Flinte gesehen, die er unbedingt haben will. Drum geht er seinen Nachbarn besuchen, nach dem Mittagessen, bei großer Sommerhitze. Und fragt ihn, auf etlichen Umwegen, wozu der denn eine Flinte brauche. Und ob er ihm nicht die Flinte 'verehren' wolle. Ein Tausch soll es werden. Die Flinte gegen die schwarzbraune Sau plus zwei Sack Hafer. Aus dieser Bitte entsteht ein erbitterter Streit zwischen den beiden Ehrenmännern, der das ganze Städtchen Mirgorod verunsichert.

The Nose is a short story by Nikolai Gogol and was published in 1836. It tells the story of a man (known as Major Kovalyov) who lost his nose in an extraordinarily strange incident. He soon realizes that his nose dressed as a man of high rank and pretending to be a human being: It goes to church and can talk to Kovalyov. He tries to get the nose back on his face in many different ways but the nose refuses to return. Nicholai Gogol uses satire to make fun of society in which high position and rank are appreciated much more than personality. The story takes place in 19th century St. Petersburg which had a strict ranked society. This version of the book is translated by Khashayar Deyhami to Persian (Farsi) and narrated by Reza Omrani. The Persian version of The Nose's audiobook is published by Maktub worldwide.

The Greatest Russian Stories of Crime and Suspense
A collection of the greatest Russian crime and mystery fiction-including stories by Akunin, Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Gogol, Nabokov, Pushkin, and Tolstoy. Many of the greatest Russian authors, including Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, and Pushkin, produced crime and mystery fiction, a type of literature that was largely suppressed during the Soviet era because it did not glorify the state, but rather, gave significance to individual characters. With the fall of the Soviet Union, mystery writers have become some of the most successful novelists in Russia, and there is a renewed interest in, and appreciation of, the great crime classics of an earlier era. There have been few policemen, and virtually no private detectives or amateur sleuths, in Russian history worthy of approbation, and in consequence its literature is dramatically different from its Western counterparts. Criminals in Mother Russia tend to be caught or punished by their own consciences or by ghosts, and the notion of a criminal trial as we know it is utterly alien. Nonetheless, the enormous talent and passion of Russian authors has long been justly acclaimed, and the rare forays they made into the loosely defined genre of mystery fiction rank among the world's classics. This volume is the first collection ever devoted entirely to Russian crime fiction.

The Diary of a Madman, and Other Russian Sketches
Centering on the picaresque realism of Nikolai Gogol's (1809-1852) mid-nineteenth-century visions of the extraordinary in everyday life, this collection mines the ambiance and mind of pre-Revolutionary Russia. These seven stories take us from the Miracle Mile of St. Petersburg's Nevsky Prospekt, and a summer night in a Ukrainian village, to the fantastical psychological geographies of fathers, sons, and madmen. Augmenting Gogol's visions are two disturbing tales by the foremost storyteller of Russia's "Silver Age" Leonid Andreyev (1871-1919), and a coda from one of Anton Chekhov's (1860-1904) stable of memorable characters. Contents include: Nevsky Prospekt - Nikolai GogolThe Diary of a Madman - Nikolai Gogol Silence - Leonid AndreyevMay Night or The Drowned Girl - Nikolai Gogol Laughter - Leonid AndreyevThe Portrait - Nikolai Gogol On the Harmfulness of Smoking Tobacco - Anton Chekhov

Audiobook
Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol was born on 1st April 1809 to a father, descended from Ukrainian Cossacks and a mother with a military background in the Ukrainian town of Sorochyntsi, then part of the Russian Empire and rich in Cossack traditions and folklore. His father wrote poetry and plays which the young Gogol helped stage at his uncle's home theatre. This helped ignite in him a love of literature and blossomed when he attended, what is now, the Nizhyn Gogol State University at the age of 12. Here he participated in school theatre productions and refined his mastery of his native Ukrainian and also the Russian of his Imperial masters.In 1828 he went to St Petersburg and unsuccessfully tried to begin a career as an actor after finding that with no money and no connections the civil service was barred to him.Embezzling money from his mother he embarked on a trip to Germany. When the money ran out, he returned to St Petersburg but the experiences were used in a series of stories he contributed to periodicals. These tales were steeped in his childhood memories of the Ukrainian landscape and peasantry enlivened with the supernatural of its folklore woven with realistic events of the day. He wrote in Russian in a whimsical, colloquial style with a smattering of Ukrainian words and phrases that provided an authenticity. Eight stories were published as 'Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka'. Seemingly all at once fame and fortune arrived. Gogol was hailed by his contemporaries, including Pushkin, as a pre-eminent writer of Russian literature. His success continued with his brilliant plays 'The Inspector General' and the comedy 'The Marriage for the Theatre', both being highly acclaimed. In 1834 he became Professor of Medieval History at the University of St. Petersburg but with little academic or teacher training, failed to adequately fulfil many of his duties and soon resigned this post. With no obligations and using his earnings from his writing, which now included the impressionistic and immortal 'Dead Souls', Gogol travelled around Europe, spending the most time in Rome where he studied art, read Italian literature and developed a passion for opera. In the 1840s Gogol became preoccupied with a need to purify his soul and embarked on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In tandem he fell under the influence of a strict and austere spiritual ascetic who persuaded him to observe strict fasts that, allied with his depression and deteriorating health, contributed to his death on 21st April 1852 at the age of only 43.Gogol had a profound and enduring impact on literature which can be evidenced from his masterpiece, 'The Cloak', more popularly although wrongly translated as 'The Overcoat' published in 1841. A hundred years later Vladamir Nabokov called it 'The greatest Russian short story ever written.'
