Мёртвые души
( 1984 )
In the Russian Empire, before the emancipation of the serfs in 1861,
landowners were entitled to own serfs to farm their land. Serfs were for
most purposes considered the property of the landowner, and could be
bought, sold or mortgaged, as any other chattel. To count serfs (and
people in general), the measure word "soul" was used: e.g., "six souls
of serfs". The plot of the novel relies on "dead souls" (i.e., "dead
serfs") which are still accounted for in property registers. On another
level, the title refers to the "dead souls" of Gogol's characters, all
of which visualise different aspects of poshlost (an untranslatable
Russian word which is perhaps best rendered as "self-satisfied
inferiority", moral and spiritual, with overtones of middle-class
pretentiousness, fake significance and philistinism).
