Specificatii
With an Introduction by Tony Briggs. Russia in the 1840s. There is
a stranger in town, and he is behaving oddly. The unctuous Pavel
Chichikov goes around the local estates buying up dead souls .
These are the papers relating to serfs who have died since the last
census, but who remain on the record and still attract a tax
demand. Chichikov is willing to relieve their owners of the tax
burden by buying the titles for a song. What he does not say is
that he then proposes to take out a huge mortgage against these
fictitious citizens and buy himself a nice estate in Eastern
Russia. Will he get away with it? Who will rumble him? Does this
narrative contain a deeper message about Russia itself or the
spiritual health of humanity?There is much interest and some
suspense in considering these issues, but the real pleasure of this
story lies elsewhere. It is an enjoyable comic romp through a
retarded part of a backward country, a picaresque series of
grotesque portraits, situations and conversations described with
Gogolian humour based mainly on hyperbole. This is, quite simply,
the funniest book in the Russian language before the twentieth
century.
