Description

Dead Souls is a comic masterpiece about a mysterious con man and his grotesque victims. First published in 1842, this novel by Nikolai Gogol is one of the major works of Russian literature. The Guerney translation, first introduced in 1942, is considered the best translation of Dead Souls ever published. This edition has been revised to be more faithful to Gogol's original text, with passages removed that were added later. The book includes Susanne Fusso's introduction and appendices featuring excerpts from earlier drafts and letters written by Gogol during its composition. This updated version of the Guerney translation is a valuable addition to any collection of Russian literature, offering a unique insight into Gogol's style and work.
