sevireads 's review for:
Dead Souls
by Nikolai Gogol
"Собакевич все слушаше както по-преди с наведена глава и нищо, което от малко да прилича на израз, не се показа на лицето му. Сякаш в това тяло съвсем нямаше душа или имаше, но съвсем не там, дето трябва, а както у безсмъртния Кашчей нейде зад гори и планини и е покрита с такава дебела черупка, че каквото и да мърдаше на дъното, не причиняваше никакво раздвижване на повърхността й."
Dead Souls is, undoubtedly, a book of immense literary merit, featured in many a "X number of books you must read in your lifetime” list. It is also, to my great dismay, horrifically tedious to get through. Classics are, more often than not, laborious to read, but this one felt more like a test straight out of the "Saw" franchise than anything. Hence, no star rating.
Maybe just stick to Dostoevski.
