For a living soul

The subject of this book was provided to Gogol by Pushkin (as the subject of another masterpiece, The Inspector General) ... Here, a man countryside campaign going to buy dead souls: the souls of men dead but still alive according to the State because the recencement did not derecognized them!
This book is beautifully written with an extraordinary style, beuacoup humor!
Many times I took a laughter in the subway so some dialogues, situations lend themselves to laugh.
Too bad that the second part is not complete because we really still our hunger ...
But it's such criticism of Russia, such a picture as this problem is simply secondary!
