Title: A Classic of Russian Literature
Review: This review is of the book, and not the Kindle rendering of it, though this is the version I downloaded and read. Dead Souls is unquestionably a classic of Russian Literature and one of the foundation stones of the Russian novel. As a Russophile and a strong proponent of Russian literature, I often run into those who hesitate to dive in because they are afraid that Russian novels are too dry, too depressing, or too "foreign". Dead Souls is the PERFECT introduction to Russian Literature, because it is accessible, humorous, educational, and entertaining. This is a book that should be read by anyone who desires to be conversant in world literature, and it is a deep and engaging study into the mind and heart of Russia and Russians.
