GOGOL, NIKOLAI; ODETS, CLIFFORD (INTRODUCTION).

Dead Souls.

Modern Library, New York: 1923. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. To the Russian, whatever his political allegiance may be, Dead Souls is more than a satire that flays the weakness of the Slavic character; it is the enduring symbol of a people that neither tyranny nor revolution can change. Mirrors the nature of the Russian people with far more authority than Tsarist or Soviet spokesmen or writers could succeed in doing.
