Gogol's 1842 novel Dead Souls, a comic masterpiece about a mysterious con man and his grotesque victims, is one of the major works of Russian literature. It was translated into English in 1942 by Bernard Guilbert Guerney; the translation was hailed by Vladimir Nabokov as "an extraordinarily fine piece of work" and is still considered the best translation of Dead Souls ever published. Long out of print, the Guerney translation of Dead Souls is now reissued. The text has been made more faithful to Gogol's original by removing passages that Guerney inserted from earlier drafts of Dead Souls. The text is accompanied by Susanne Fusso's introduction and by appendixes that present excerpts from Guerney's translations of other drafts of Gogol's work and letters Gogol wrote around the time of the writing and publication of Dead Souls.
NIKOLAI VASILEVICH GOGOL was born at Sorotchinetz, in Little Russia, in March, 1809, the exact day being impossible to discover. The year in which he appeared on the planet proved to be the literary annus mirabilis of the century; for in this same twelvemonth were born Charles Darwin, Alfred Tennyson, Abraham Lincoln, Poe, Gladstone, Holmes, Chopin, and Mendelssohn. His father was a literary amateur, who wrote dramatic pieces for his own amusement, and who spent his time on the old family estate, not in managing the farms, but in wandering about the gardens and beholding the fowls of the air. The boy inherited much from his father; but he had the best of all private tutors, a good mother, of whom his biographer says, Elle demeure toujours sa plus intime amie.

评分虽然西人早有评论,认为果戈里的文学作品俄罗斯主题太强,其地方性也许会阻遏别国读者的理解力,但上世纪鲁迅先生却有异声。他将此书译成中文,并大加推介,声言可为国人观照自身机理之用。 通读此书,知鲁迅之言非虚也。 主人公巴维尔•伊凡诺维奇•乞乞科夫的罪恶的直...

评分果戈里《死魂灵》大概主要故事就是以主人公乞乞科夫到N城购买死农奴即死去的农奴转让名单为主线,展现了沙皇俄国时候的地主群像。揭示了庸俗、贪婪而狡诈的权贵阶层。 一、叙事方法 作者用讽刺的手法叙写了一件荒唐可笑的事,作者着重刻画了地主和官吏两类人物。他笔下的这些人...
评分《死魂灵》堪称是一部19世纪俄罗斯社会的世情小说,果戈里对俄罗斯全景式的洞察广度令人惊叹。便诚如赫尔岑所言:在此之前,从来没有一个人把俄国官僚的病理解剖的如此完整。 但细想文中诸般风物人情,皆不像是会存在于真实现实中的实体,而是“杂取种种人,合为一体”的艺术真...
