dead souls

dead souls by nikolai gogol written in the 19th century.

Dead Souls is an unfinished lifetime work of Gogol. The first volume flows well and the later volume leaves you wondering where Gogol is going with it all, however Gogol's character sketches are insightful and still relevent today.
