DEAD SOULS

gogol1.1You should imagine a Russia far, particular and mysterious, get to see an affable trafficker in “dead souls”. That was the way of looking at people with no money and good birth. The serfs. Imagine, now, that the newcomer is particularly imaginative, that his mind analyze the possibility of reducing taxes for the benefit of “living souls”, ie the public and landowners with good birth. When you have read the last page, you will discover the truth. Souls lives, their market value is not linked to what is sold, but at what flourishes within them.
