درباره این ای-کتاب

This is a new translation from the original Russian manuscript of Gogol's work "Dead Souls". This edition contains an Afterword by the Translator, a timeline of Gogol's life and works and an Index of Gogol's individual works. Arguably Gogol's magnum opus, this novel satirizes Russian society through the adventures of Chichikov, a man who buys the titles to deceased serfs in a scheme to exploit a legal loophole. "...It takes a lot of depth of soul to illuminate the picture taken from the despicable life, and elevate it to the pearl of creation."
