Dead Souls - Book by Nikolai Gogol

In this satirical novel, Nikolai Gogol presents a portrait of Russian society through the character of Chichikov, a man who buys deceased serfs (referred to as "dead souls") to acquire their land and property rights. Chichikov’s manipulative scheme to buy dead serfs is a commentary on the greed, corruption, and moral decay of Russian nobility.
