Description
Dead Souls is a masterpiece of 19th-century Russian literature, written by Nikolai Gogol in the late 1830s. The novel follows the journey of Chichikov, a dismissed civil servant turned unscrupulous confidence man, as he navigates the Russian countryside in pursuit of his shady enterprise.
With its rich and ebullient language, ironic twists and startling juxtapositions, Dead Souls stands as one of the most dazzling and poetic works of the nineteenth century. This new translation by Christopher English is complemented by a superb introductory essay by Robert Maguire, a leading authority on Gogol's work.
Published in 2009, this reissue of Dead Souls offers a wealth of valuable features, including expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study. A must-have for anyone interested in Russian literature and the works of Nikolai Gogol.
