«Dead Souls» is Nikolai Gogol's satirical novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (384 pages, in English).
Chichikov travels the Russian countryside buying from landowners the names of dead serfs still listed in the census, to use those «dead souls» as collateral and climb the social ladder. Gogol unfolds a gallery of grotesque characters and a biting satire of corruption and hypocrisy in nineteenth-century Russia.
English translation and introduction by David Magarshack. The original Russian title is «Мёртвые души», a work originally published in 1842.
For readers of classics and nineteenth-century Russian literature, as well as those who appreciate social criticism.
