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.
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.

评分《死魂灵》乃是俄国批判现实主义代表作,果戈里下笔辛辣毫不客气地戳破19世纪上叶俄国农奴制度、社会脓包,诙谐尖酸的描述绝不逊色于漫画浓墨线描,将利诱面前的主、奴丑态描绘地滑稽之至,末了,仍旧好声好气地教诲一顿读者:“你们大不必如此!” 这就是果戈里的《死...
评分1、 死魂灵,即那些刚去世不久,官方档案尚未注销,因而法律意义上可算暂时活着的人。主人公乞乞科夫想通过便宜收购死魂灵,然后当做活奴隶抵押给监管委员会,骗取大笔押金。如果是当代一位作家来写,重点可能放在了如何钻法律漏洞,如何骗取押金上,情节重于人物。文学作品的...
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...
