Synopsis "Dead Souls"

Nikolai Gogol was talented enough to catch the notice of not just his contemporaries but his government. Considered one of Russia's greatest writers during his day, Gogol's Dead Souls satirized the corruption of the Russian government enough that it forced him into exile. Dead Souls features Gogol's classic prose and verse forms, with Gogol himself considering it epic poetry. Despite the fact that it was technically unfinished, with Gogol famously burning the second part of the manuscript, it's still universally hailed as one of Gogol's classics.

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol was born in 1809, in present-day Ukraine, and died in Moscow in 1852. He moved to Saint Petersburg in 1828, and after overcoming some setbacks, he entered the literary circles of that city in 1831. His humor, the treatment of themes, the use of language, and stylistic devices left deep marks and set a precedent.
The work of Nikolai Gogol, considered by many critics as the father of Russian realism, laid the foundations for what would be the Golden Age of Russian literature. Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Chekhov in the 19th century, as well as Zamyatin, Bulgakov, and Nabokov in the 20th century, acknowledged their debt to this author.
