Instinctively we would shy away but sometimes its pull is too powerful, almost attractive. We are drawn closer into the shadows.

Jeder Privatmensch glaubt heutzutage, man wolle in seiner Person die ganze Korporation beleidigen. An "einer Ministerialabteilung" war also "ein Beamter" angestellt.

Das Haus war nicht hoch, nach dem äußeren eine gewöhnliche Kosakenhütte mit einer Stube. Doch ist darin Platz für ihn und die Frau, für die alte Dienerin und zehn auserlesenen Burschen.

In Altväterliche Gutsbesitzer berichtet Gogol vom abgeschiedenen Leben eines alten ukrainischen Gutsbesitzerehepaars. Eine Meistererzählung des großen russischen Dichters, mit der spitzen Feder.

Der letzte Tag vor Weihnachten war zu Ende. Eine klare Winternacht brach an; die Sterne erstrahlten am Himmel; der Mond erhob sich majestätisch, um den guten Menschen und der ganzen Welt zu leuchten, damit jeder recht lustig die Koljadalieder singe und den Heiland preise.

Iwan Jakowlewitsch zog des Anstandes halber einen Frack über sein Hemd, setzte sich an den Tisch, nahm etwas Salz, schnitt zwei Zwiebeln zurecht, ergriff das Messer, machte eine wichtige Miene und begann das Brot zu zerteilen. Als er es in zwei Hälften geschnitten hatte, blickte er hinein und sah darin zu seinem Erstaunen etwas Weißliches. Iwan Jakowlewitsch kratzte vorsichtig mit dem Messer und tastete mit dem Finger. – Es ist etwas Festes, – sagte er sich, was kann es sein?
