Not their land, not their belongings—only their souls, still counted on official records. As his scheme quietly unfolds, Gogol opens a window onto an entire society caught in its own absurd routines.\u003cbr\u003e\nPart comedy, part social portrait, part moral fable, Dead Souls is populated with greedy landlords, hollow officials, and a hero whose respectability masks something unsettling. The novel exposes a world where paperwork matters more than people, reputation more than character, and appearance more than truth.\u003cbr\u003e\nAt once funny and unsettling, Gogol’s masterpiece reveals how easily a society can mistake emptiness for success. Beneath its humour runs a sharp question: what happens when human lives are reduced to entries in a ledger?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789349042391\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.0 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Browser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51231495553328,"sku":"PrakashBooks_9789349042391","price":263.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81WfILj1wVL_db2b492a-5463-41e0-a14d-85b9446ff7d9.jpg?v=1774845954","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/dead-souls-cuppa-classics-1","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
