Toten Seelen

toten Seelen

by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol

„Dead Souls“ ist ein satirischer Roman des russischen Autors Nikolai Gogol, der die korrupte und dysfunktionale russische Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts aufzeigt. Der Protagonist, Pawel Tschitschikow, entwickelt einen Plan, um durch den Kauf von „toten Seelen“ – Bauern, die zwar tot sind, aber noch im Staatsregister als lebendig geführt werden – reich zu werden. Der Roman zeichnet ein düsteres Bild von den sozialen Missständen, der Korruption und dem moralischen Verfall in Russland. Gogols scharfe Satire und der groteske Humor prangern die Widersprüche der Gesellschaft an und zeichnen ein erschreckendes Bild von der menschlichen Gier und dem Missbrauch von Macht.
