The difference between the second and the lesser-known original edition of 1835 is considerable. Most people who have read Taras Bulba would have read its amended version (or its translation), which was published as a second edition in 1842. It refers to some historical events, including the Ostrianyn Uprising, a kozak rebellion of 1638 against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Although the main characters are fictional, the novella features historical figures, such as Adam Kysil (1649–1653), Yakiv Ostrianyn (Ostrianytsia, ?–1641), Dmytro Hunia (?–1638) and Mikołaj Potocki (1595–1651). The story revolves around veteran Ukrainian kozak Taras Bulba and his two sons, Ostap and Andriy. Mykola Hohol’s (Nikolay Gogol) Taras Bulba is a tale set in 1630s Ukraine among the kozaks of the Zaporizhian Sich. Sample Book Product Details about this book
