“Dead Souls shook Russia from one end to the other. Dead Souls is an indictment against Russia. It is the story of a sick Russia written by the hand of a master artist. Gogol's poetry: a scream of terror, shame, and disgrace. The scream of a person living in meanness and trivialities, who suddenly sees himself and realizes his truth, and his scream erupts. But the scream emanating from the chest of this sick person indicates that there is still some wellness in him, and he aspires to renewal, resurrection, and life.”

“Dead Souls!... The title alone plants horror and terror in hearts. The dead souls are not the souls of those dead peasants that the cunning merchant buys, but rather the souls of the liars, hypocrites, and dissemblers like Manilov, Plyushkin, and others.” - Goetz

“And suddenly from the swamp of trifles and absurdities, from the focus of false ideas and feelings, from the center of literary bubbles, suddenly like the bright flash of lightning on dry days, the masterpiece 'Dead Souls' emerged; a pure Russian literary gem that tells the secrets of the people and their true, sincere life.” - Belinsky

“They exiled me to the regions of the Caspian Sea, no doubt they will keep people away from me. And a book like 'Dead Souls' will be my best friend in my solitude.” - Taras Shevchenko
