"Dead Souls" is a novel by Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol that tells the story of a man named Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov, who travels through the Russian countryside purchasing the "souls" of deceased serfs from landowners. In Russian feudalism, serfs were considered property, and their deaths were taxed until they were officially registered as deceased by the government. Through their interactions, Gogol provides a satirical commentary on the corruption and hypocrisy of Russian society during the 19th century. As Chichikov's plan begins to unravel, he becomes increasingly desperate and resorts to increasingly desperate measures to try to salvage his scheme. He is pursued by the authorities, betrayed by his associates, and ultimately exposed as a fraud. However, despite his downfall, the novel ends on a note of redemption as Chichikov comes to terms with his own moral failings and attempts to make amends for his misdeeds.
