Although Dead Souls (1842) was largely composed by Gogol during self-imposed exile in Italy in the late 1830s, his last work remains to this day the most essentially Russian of all the great novels in Russian literature. As we follow its hero Chichikov, a dismissed civil servant turned confidence man, about the Russian countryside in pursuit of his shady enterprise, there unfolds before us a gallery of characters worthy in comic range of Chaucer, Rabelais, Fielding, and Sterne. With its rich and ebullient language, ironic twists, and startling juxtapositions, Dead Souls stands as one of the most unusual and poetic masterpieces of the nineteenth century. This new translation by Christopher English includes the surviving chapters and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Dead Souls (Russian: Мёртвые души, myortvyje dushi) is a novel by Nikolai Gogol, first published in 1842, and widely regarded as an exemplar of 19th-century Russian literature. 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.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (31 March [O.S. 19 March] 1809, – 4 March [O.S. 21 February] 1852) was a Ukrainian-born Russian novelist, humourist, and dramatist. He is considered the father of modern Russian realism. His early works, such as "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka", were heavily influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing and identity. His more mature writing satirised the corrupt bureaucracy of the Russian Empire, leading to his exile. On his return, he immersed himself in the Orthodox Church. The novels "Taras Bul'ba" (1835; 1842 [revised edition]) and "Dead Souls" (1842), the play "The Inspector-General" (1836, 1842), and the short stories "Diary of a Madman", "The Nose" and "The...

Russia`s great nineteenth-century satirical absurdist shows what happens when a man wakes up with his nose missing, and illustrates the folly of boasting.`Strangely enough, I mistook it for a gentleman at first. Fortunately I had my spectacles with me so I could see it was really a nose.` With this pair of absurd, comic stories Gogol indulges his imagination and delights readers.

Gogol`s stories are admired for their skillful mingling of fantasy and reality, quiet good humor and use of mundane details - as Gogol put it - `to extract the extraordinary from the ordinary.` Imaginative and timeless, they remain as fresh and significant today as they were to readers generations ago. This rich selection of four short stories by the great 19th-century Russian author of Dead Souls includes `The Nose,` a savage satire of incompetent bureaucrats and the snobbery and complacency of the Russian upper classes; `Old-Fashioned Farmers,` a sketch depicting an elderly couple who live a happy but simple life in rustic seclusion; `The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarrelled with Ivan Nikiforovich,` one of Gogol`s most famous comic...
