About this book
In the early 19th century, Russia was undergoing significant social and economic changes, setting the stage for Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol's incisive novel, "Kuolleet sielut." This satirical work explores themes of bureaucracy and moral decay through the eyes of Pavel Ivanovitsh Tshitshikow, who embarks on a peculiar quest to acquire deceased serfs’ names for personal gain. As he navigates the labyrinth of local officials, Gogol critiques the very foundations of society, revealing the absurdity of unearned privilege and the human condition. Ideal for students and historians alike, "Kuolleet sielut" serves as a compelling examination of 19th-century Russian life, reflecting on the complexities of identity and ambition in a rapidly changing world.
