Dead Souls

Nikolai Gogol

First published 1842

Pavel Chichikov travels through provincial Russia purchasing the names of deceased serfs, turning a bureaucratic loophole into a scheme for wealth and status. Gogol's comic, uncanny road novel exposes vanity, corruption, and the uneasy dreams of a society built on paperwork.
