Dead Souls

Description

I am Chichikov—a man with dreams, schemes, and, perhaps, secrets too great to confess. My journey begins across the sprawling, dusty roads of Russia, where every encounter peels back the curtain on a country caught between grandeur and decay. I don’t claim to be a hero; in fact, I might be quite the opposite. But as I navigate the estates of landlords, each one with their own flaws and follies, I wonder: is the world I move through as corrupted as I am? Or is it merely a reflection of my own ambitions?

Dead Souls isn’t just my story—it’s yours too. It’s about the things we pursue, the masks we wear, and the strange, unsettling humor found in life’s darkest corners. Will you judge me, pity me, or see yourself in my travels? That, my friend, is for you to decide. Let’s take this journey together—you, me, and the shadows of those who came before us.
