Since its publication in 1842, Dead Souls has been celebrated as a supremely realistic portrait of provincial Russian life and as a splendidly exaggerated tale; as a paean to the Russian spirit and as a remorseless satire of imperial Russian venality, vulgarity, and pomp. As Gogol's wily antihero, Chichikov, combs the back country wheeling and dealing for "dead souls"--deceased serfs who still represent money to anyone sharp enough to trade in them--we are introduced to a Dickensian cast of peasants, landowners, and conniving petty officials, few of whom can resist the seductive illogic of Chichikov's proposition. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Great classic book. Actually, finally managed to read it till the end, mostly because of how it's easy to read and navigate. Definitely recommend this Kindle Edition and publisher.
Classic story, one of the best examples of Russian literature, multilayered, funny, smart.
