Description: Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol, Ms. Susanne Fusso, Bernard Guilbert Guerney Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Gogols 1842 novel Dead Souls, about a mysterious con man and his victims, is reissued here. Publisher Description Gogols 1842 novel Dead Souls, a comic masterpiece about a mysterious con man and his grotesque victims, is one of the major works of Russian literature. It was translated into English in 1942 by Bernard Guilbert Guerney; the translation was hailed by Vladimir Nabokov as "an extraordinarily fine piece of work" and is still considered the best translation of Dead Souls ever published. Long out of print, the Guerney translation of Dead Souls is now reissued. The text has been made more faithful to Gogols original by removing passages that Guerney inserted from earlier drafts of Dead Souls. The text is accompanied by Susanne Fussos introduction and by appendices that present excerpts from Guerneys translations of other drafts of Gogols work and letters Gogol wrote around the time of the writing and publication of Deal Souls. "I am delighted that Guerneys translation of Dead Souls [is] available again. It is head and shoulders above all the others, for Guerney understands that to translate Gogol is necessarily to undertake a poetic recreation, and he does so brilliantly."-Robert A. Maguire, Columbia University "The Guerney translation of Dead Souls is the only translation I know of that makes any serious attempt to approximate the qualities of Gogols style-exuberant, erratic, Baroque, bizarre."-Hugh McLean, University of California, Berkeley "A splendidly revised and edited edition of Bernard Guerneys classic English translation of Gogols Dead Souls. The distinguished Gogol scholar Susanne Fusso may have brought us as close as the English reader may ever expect to come to Gogols masterpiece. No student, scholar, or general reader will want to miss this updated, refined version of one of the most delightful and sublime works of Russian literature."-Robert Jackson, Yale University Author Biography Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852), Russian short-story writer, novelist, and playwright, is best known for his novel Dead Souls, his play The Inspector-General, and stories such as "The Nose" and "The Overcoat."
