Synopsis
Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov makes his way through the rural Russian countryside visiting landowners and town officials in a scheme to buy up "dead souls"--serfs who have died since the last census. He secretly hopes to have enough "souls," at least on paper, for financial leverage in a real estate deal in eastern Russia. Chichikov is alternately welcomed and greeted with suspicion by villagers, lawyers, town presidents, fellow travelers, and retired military men. Through these characters, Gogol paints a semi-allegorical portrait of the attitudes, weaknesses, habits, and eccentricities of his fellow countrymen. Sometime after he began "Dead Souls" in the autumn of 1835, Gogol became more and more convinced that he was writing an epic that would embrace all of Russia. This ambition consumed him, and, although he worked tirelessly on this project until his death by fasting in 1852, the version of "Dead Souls", as it was published in 1841, remains the only finished volume of a projected three-volume work.

Industry Reviews
"What a tone, what jealous tyranny--Gogol is putting a sorcerer's spell on Russia. Throughout his life, she is a mysterious image for him, and, nonetheless, his mistress....Inscrutably, unnaturally Gogol, perhaps more than any other Russian writer, is bound to Russia, and he is bound by no means to the Russia of the past, but to today's Russia, and even more to tomorrow's."
Russian Literature Triquarterly - Andrei Bely

"The main lyrical note of 'Dead Souls' bursts into existence when the idea of Russia as Gogol saw Russia (a peculiar landscape, a special atmosphere, a symbol, a long, long road) looms in all its strange loveliness through the tremendous dream of the book."
"Nikolai Gogol" - Vladimir Nabokov (01/01/1944)
