Sämmtliche Werke 1: Die Abenteuer Tschitschikows oder Die toten Seelen I by Gogol
"Die Abenteuer Tschitschikows oder Die toten Seelen I" by Nikolai Gogol is a novel published in 1842. The story follows Pawel Iwanowitsch Tschitschikow, a cunning opportunist determined to enrich himself through an audacious scheme. He travels through provincial Russia purchasing "dead souls"—deceased serfs still listed on official records—to use as collateral for state loans. Through satirical encounters with eccentric landowners, Gogol exposes the corruption, absurdity, and moral decay of the Russian landed
gentry in pre-revolutionary Russia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
