Un épisode imaginaire de la lutte des cosaques contre les Polonais dans l'Ukraine du XVIIe siècle. Le vieux Taras Boulba, cosaque des temps héroïques, après avoir initié à la guerre ses deux fils, perd l'aîné sous les coups de l'ennemi et tue de ses propres mains le cadet qui, amoureux d'une Polonaise catholique, a trahi sa famille et la foi orthodoxe. À la suite de deux grandes batailles, Taras Boulba est fait prisonnier et meurt brûlé vif sur le bûcher. La réussite du récit, écrit par Gogol quand il a à peine vingt-six ans, tient à ce que le souffle épique y côtoie sans cesse la truculence quasi rabelaisienne de la fête, des beuveries cosaques, mais aussi l'évocation poétique d'une Ukraine primitive.
