书籍简介

《死魂灵》的目标是“从一侧面来表现全俄罗斯”，它的出版“震撼了整个俄罗斯”，也使果戈理跻身于世界经典作家之列。小说通过骗子乞乞科夫购买“死魂灵”以图营利的奇异故事，多方位揭示了帝俄社会的腐败和农奴制没落的真相，由此对俄罗斯社会生活的本质和俄罗斯心灵的真实状态进行了一次深入剖析和观照。果戈理善于通过喜剧性的细节来折射生活被肢解、生命被窒息、生存被僵化的艺术才华，在本书中得到了出色的表现。

A mysterious stranger named Chichikov arrives in a small provincial Russian town and proceeds to visit a succession of landowners, making each of them an unusual and somewhat macabre proposition. He offers to buy the rights to the dead serfs who are still registered on the landowner's estate, thus reducing their liability for taxes. It is not clear what Chichikov's intentions are with the dead serfs he is purchasing, and despite his attempts to ingratiate himself, his strange behaviour arouses the suspicions of everyone in the town.A biting satire of social pretensions and pomposity, Dead Souls has been revered since its original publication in 1842 as one of the funniest and most brilliant novels of nineteenth-century Russia. Its unflinching and remorseless depiction of venality in Russian society is a lasting tribute to Gogol's comic genius.

尼古莱·瓦西里耶维奇·果戈理·亚诺夫斯基（俄语：Никола́й Васи́льевич Гоголь-Яновский；英语：Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol-Anovskii，1809年4月1日—1852年3月4日），笔名果戈理（俄语：Гоголь，英译Gogol），俄国批判主义作家，代表作有《死魂灵》（或译：《死农奴》）和《钦差大臣》。

One of the leading figures in nineteenth-century Russian literature, Nikolai Gogol (1809-52) is best known for his satirical masterpiece, Dead Souls, and humorous plays and short stories such as The Government Inspector and The Overcoat, written in a highly original and trenchant style.
