He took the story for more than nine years of his life, returning to it for improvements and enhancements. There are several editions of works, each of which has its own characteristics. The history of creation "Taras Bulba" Gogol's is no less exciting than the plot of the story.
The writer began with a study of historical sources. From them he learned the actual details of historical events of that epoch.

Prose "Taras Bulba", which is considered by the author is presented as fiction. The image of his main character collectively. However, it has its prototypes.

Another prototype of Taras Bulba is considered Ivan Gonta. He mistakenly attributed the murder of two sons from his wife-polka. But the evidence for this action.
The history of the works of Gogol is impossible without consideration of the historical sources that studied Gogol:
Of Great importance for the study of life Cossacks were Ukrainian folk songs and ballads that Gogol studied for a long time. Some of them took their place in the story. For example, the dramatic story of Mosiah Schiele, who was captured by the Turks and saved from enemy captivity of his comrades, inspired by people's thoughts about Smile Colon.
History of the novel "Taras Bulba" is quite complicated. For the first time the work was published in 1835 in “Mirgorod”. Seven years later, in 1842, the writer published the story in the second volume of “Works”. Second edition revised and expanded.
Gogol's writing had a remarkable line, which was that even published work he never considered finished. He kept improving it even after publication. The writer often expressed the idea that labour would be “quite artistically finished” only after the eighth correspondence with his own hand.
It was Already mentioned that the prose of "Taras Bulba", which is presented, has two main editions. They differ from each other. First of all, they vary in volume. So, in 1835 the story consisted of nine chapters, and for 1842 – of the twelve. This allowed for new characters, descriptions of nature, conflict situations.
In the second edition greatly enriched the domestic and the historical background of the story, there are details of the form of the Sich, extended battle scenes, new the scene of the election of Kosh. The history of creation "Taras Bulba" Gogol is not limited to these supplements.
The Images of the main characters in the last edition more than prescribed. So, Taras Bulba becomes a defender of the oppressed people, although “Mirgorodskaya” edition of Gogol described it as a great “hunter to raids and riots”.
The Image of Andria became more complex. Gogol have perfected it, making the outside world more capacious. His love for the Polish acquired in the story more vivid and emotional.
However, this is not the main differences between editions. The main advantage of the story of 1842 is more bright and full opening theme of the national liberation movement against the Polish self-will. The story acquired the character of a folk-heroic epic.
The Popularity of works is often measured by how deep it was able to enter the minds of ordinary people. The story "Taras Bulba", which is represented, known for its expressions, has become a cruise:
