Dead Souls

Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol, translated by D. J. Hogarth

This seems to be an exploration of wealth and money in mid 19th century Russia. People talk about control of others and buying land and peasants. There are other aspects of Russian life in place. The novel ends somewhat abruptly in mid-sentence, but does seem to ahve things fairly wrapped up. It did seem to go on a bit too long for the length of content.
