Dead Souls is a masterpiece of Russian literature by Nikolai Gogol. The novel follows the story of Chichikov, an enigmatic character who travels through rural Russia with the strange purpose of buying "dead souls"—deceased serfs who are still listed in official censuses—to use them in a scheme for personal enrichment. Through this journey, Gogol unfolds a fierce and profound satire on the decline of 19th-century Russian society, portraying with irony both the minor landed gentry and the bureaucracy and common people.
