Meer over het boek

The story follows Chichikov, a middle-aged gentleman who cunningly ingratiates himself with local officials and landowners in a small town. His peculiar mission involves acquiring "dead souls," which are deceased serfs still listed as property, reflecting a satirical exploration of social and moral issues in 19th-century Russia. Through Chichikov's interactions and schemes, the narrative delves into themes of greed, bureaucracy, and the absurdities of societal norms.
