Description Wiki
Dead Souls (Russian: ??????? ???? , Mj rtvyje d shi) is a novel by Nikolai Gogol, first published in 1842, and widely regarded as an exemplar of 19th-century Russian literature. The novel chronicles the travels and adventures of Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov (Russian: ????? ???????? ???????) and the people whom he encounters. These people typify the Russian middle-class of the time. Gogol himself saw his work as an "epic poem in prose", and within the book characterised it as a "novel in verse". Despite supposedly completing the trilogys second part, Gogol destroyed it shortly before his death. Although the novel ends in mid-sentence (like Sternes Sentimental Journey), it is regarded by some as complete in the extant form.[1]
Description GoodReads
Dead Souls is eloquent on some occasions, lyrical on others, and pious and reverent elsewhere. Nicolai Gogol was a master of the spoof. The American students of today are not the only readers who have been confused by him. Russian literary history records more divergent interpretations of Gogol than perhaps of any other classic. In a new translation of the comic classic of Russian literature, Chichikov, an enigmatic stranger and conniving schemer, buys deceased serfs names from their landlords poll tax lists hoping to mortgage them for profit and to reinvent himself as a likeable gentleman.
Description Penquin
The first of the great Russian novels and one of the indisputable masterpieces of world literature, Dead Souls is the tale of Chichikov, an affably cunning con man who causes consternation in a small Russian town when he shows up out of nowhere proposing to buy title to serfs who, though dead as doornails, are still property on paper. What can he have up his sleeve, the local landowners wonder, even as some rush to unload what isn t of any use to them anyway, while others seek to negotiate the best deal possible, and others yet hold on to their dead for dear life, since if somebody wants what you have then no matter what don t give it away. Chichikov s scheme soon encounters obstacles, but he is never without resource, and as he stumbles forward as best he can, Gogol paints a wonderfully comic picture of Russian life that also serves as a biting satire of a society as corrupt as it is cynical and silly. At once a wild phantasmagoria and a work of exacting realism, Dead Souls is a supremely living work of art that spills over with humor and passion and absurdity.

Plot Summary Dead Souls is the tale of Chichikov, an itinerant mid-rank bureaucrat desperate to make his fortune. He seeks to do so not by conventional means, but by purchasing peasants who have died since the last census, and thus are only alive on paper. He can then mortgage these dead souls and get rich.
