"Taras Bulba" is a tale of the Cossacks, in which the author (himself a descendant from that group) describes the heroic exploits of his ancestors; their wild mode of life and warfare; the scenery the forests, the ponds, the wide stretches, and the sky of the steppes; all of which are woven together in the form of fiction placed before the reader in the most lifelike and vivid prose, which equals in beauty the accents of the noblest poetry.
