The work reflects his introspective nature and his desire to leave a meaningful legacy after his death. The opening of the collection sets a somber tone as Gogol recounts moments of illness and contemplation. He expresses a sense of urgency in wanting to share his thoughts and wisdom with his compatriots before embarking on a journey to the Holy Land. In this preface, he apologizes for any offenses he may have caused and reflects on the value of his letters compared to his previous writings.
