DEAD SOULS
By Nikolai Gogol
With an Introduction by Stephen Graham
“Dead Souls,” written by Gogol in the years 1837-8 is the greatest humorous novel in the Russian language. It is the most popular book in Russia, and its appeal is world-wide.
“‘Dead Souls’ is Russia herself. The characters have become national types, and are more alluded to by Russians than Mr. Pickwick, Squire Western, Falstaff, Micawber, are by us.”—From preface by Stephen Graham.
