This is not just another edition of N. V. Gogol's poem "Dead Souls." This book can easily be called a world of artistic portrait and stage illustration.

Many Russian artists found subjects for sketches and paintings in Gogol's works, but it is the legendary drawings of Alexander Agin, engraved by Evstafiy Bernardsky and published during Gogol's lifetime, that are rightly considered classics of literary illustration.

The book includes a captivating essay by the historian of painting, graphic art, and literature Konstantin Kuzminsky on the dramatic life and inspired work of A. A. Agin, the founder of genre illustration and a talented "pioneer in the art of illustrating Gogol's works." You will learn about Agin's associates and followers, his admirers and critics, and about a monument of Russian art—the unique edition of "One Hundred Drawings for Dead Souls"—and about its role and destiny in world culture.

Gogol's Dead Souls, translated into the language of painting and graphic art, is a complete panorama of Russian characters, making this publication of interest to a wide range of readers.
