Мёртвые души

Summary

The smooth, ingratiating Chichikov travels from landowner to landowner buying the names of dead serfs who still count on the tax rolls, a scheme he hopes will make him rich. Gogol's comic epic of provincial Russia, here its complete first volume, is a gallery of grotesque squires, each more absurd than the last. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
