The acclaimed translators of "The Brothers Karamazov" and "Crime and Punishment" now turn their attention to Nikolai Gogol's supremely realistic portrait of provincial Russian life. In this surreally funny classic of Russian literature, Gogol's wily antihero, Chichikov, is in the business of buying up "dead souls"--deceased serfs who exist only on paper.
