Features: "Dead Souls" is an "unparalleled work in the history of Russian literature," marking an important milestone in the journey of Russian literature toward originality and nationality. Its publication was like a thunderclap echoing across the vast sky, "shaking the entire Russia." Gogol was a renowned 19th-century Russian playwright and novelist. With his "extreme fidelity to life" in realism, vivid and lifelike typical characters, and a satirical style that combines humor with tears, he became the "founder of the realist school." Lu Xun highly praised "Dead Souls," personally translating and self-funding the first Chinese translation. "Dead Souls" was selected for the "Personal Ideal Book Collection" recommended by France's magazine L'Express.
