Review of 'Мертвые души' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I recently started to fill in the gaps left in my education during school days. So, after reading several other classic books, i picked this one. The book is a masterpiece, but in order to appreciate it, you'll need to learn russian, because the author abused the language a lot to make it funny. So, no matter how good translation is, it has certainly killed it's spirit.
