Dead Souls

Nikolai Gogol

After more than a week of entertainment and "passing the time, as they say, very pleasantly, " he gets down to business-heading off to call on some landowners. More pleasantries ensue before Chichikov reveals his bizarre plan. He'd like to buy the souls of peasants who have died since the last census. The first landowner looks carefully to see if he's mad, but spots no outward signs. In fact, the scheme is innovative but by no means bonkers. Even though Chichikov will be taxed on the supposed serfs, he will be able to count them as his property and gain the reputation of a gentleman owner. His first victim is happy to give up his souls for free-less tax burden for him. The second, however, knows Chichikov must be up to something, and the third has his servants rough him up. Nonetheless, he prospers.

Dead Souls is a feverish anatomy of Russian society (the book was first published in 1842) and human wiles. Its author tosses off thousands of sublime epigrams-including, " However stupid a fool's words may be, they are sometimes enough to confound an intelligent man, " and is equally adept at yearning satire: " Where is he, " Gogol interrupts the action, "who, in the native tongue of our Russian soul, could speak to us this all-powerful word: forward? who, knowing all the forces and qualities, and all the depths of our nature, could, by one magic gesture, point the Russian man towards a lofty life? " Flannery O' Connor, another writer of dark genius, declared Gogol "necessary along with the light. " Though he was hardly the first to envision property as theft, his blend of comic, fantastic moralism is sui generis. -Kerry Fried
