He will journey through Russia and buy up, at reduced rates, the recently deceased serfs of landowners, who now wont have to pay government taxes on the dead souls. With this list of fictitious serfs as collateral, Chichikov can buy an estate and begin amassing his fortune. What follows is a series of grotesquely humorous transactions with Russian landowners, each more queer and repellant than the last. Although Gogol spends much of the novel exposing the evils of the Russian gentry through absurd and hilarious satire, he also expresses a passionate love for his country that resonates with readers even today.&&LBR&&R&&LBR&&RA stylistic tour de force, encompassing an astonishing range of voices from delicate, intimate lyricism to robust, bawdy ribaldry, &&LI&&RDead Souls&&L/I&&R is an intensely felt anatomy of the human condition.&&LBR&&R&&L/P&&R&&LP style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&&R&&LSTRONG&&RJeffrey Meyers&&L/B&&R,&&L/B&&R a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, has published forty-three books, including biographies of Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, D.
