Nikolai Gogol - Dead souls. Gift book bound in leather

The poem "Dead Souls" was translated into many other languages during the author's lifetime. It was an incredible success. No one before Gogol and after him managed to describe the vices and weaknesses of the Russian person so vividly and acutely, so vividly and truthfully reflect the most important problems for Russia. 160 years have passed, and the poem sounds like it was just written. Chichikovs, Korobochki, Nozdrevs, Plyushkins, Sobakevichi - their aspirations, feelings, actions do not seem to us echoes of the past. These characters acquire a modern and sharp sound when we watch more and more new performances and films based on this immortal poem.
