★ Best translation of Dead Souls ever published

DDead Souls is a masterpiece by Nikolai Gogol, first published in 1842, and widely regarded as one of the most delightful and sublime works of 19th-century Russian literature. This is an updated, refined version.

The novel chronicles the travels and adventures of Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov (Russian: Павел Иванович Чичиков) and the people whom he encounters. These people are typical of the Russian middle-class of the time.

Gogol himself saw it as an “epic poem in prose”, and within the book as a “novel in verse”. Despite supposedly completing the trilogy’s second part, Gogol destroyed it shortly before his death. Although the novel ends in mid-sentence (like Sterne’s Sentimental Journey), it is usually regarded as complete in the extant form.

Presenting Gogol’s comic novel about a mysterious con man and his grotesque victims, this translation is accompanied by an introduction and by appendices that outline excerpts from the translator’s work on other Gogol texts, and by letters Gogol wrote around the time he was writing this novel.
