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.

評分雖然西人早有評論,認為果戈裏的文學作品俄羅斯主題太強,其地方性也許會阻遏彆國讀者的理解力,但上世紀魯迅先生卻有異聲。他將此書譯成中文,並大加推介,聲言可為國人觀照自身機理之用。 通讀此書,知魯迅之言非虛也。 主人公巴維爾•伊凡諾維奇•乞乞科夫的罪惡的直...
評分如果有第三部,乞乞科夫是否還會乾著販賣“死靈魂”的活計?在他經曆瞭一係列“無妄之災”之後,齣人頭地、光宗耀祖那些誘惑還會那麼強烈地吸引著他嗎? 我想,他依然會坐著那輛通常隻有光棍漢纔會乘坐的相當講究的四輪輕便馬車,身體力行地丈量著俄羅斯的土地,一直...
