This monograph is nothing less than a bold attempt at solving the
riddle of Gogol's novel Dead Souls that even inspired a staging of
Dead Souls at Schauspiel Stuttgart. Heftrich gives a comprehensive,
coherent answer to the question of the novel's meaning by
meticulously laying bare its structure. The first part of the
monograph is dedicated to one section of Gogol's novel that has
been neglected by virtually all critics - a clue that leads to a
strictly ethical reading of Gogol's epic. Gogol, as it emerges,
constructed Dead Souls strictly according to a moral pattern. It is
amazing to discover how flawlessly Dead Souls is built in this
regard. The novel thus proves to be a true descendant of medieval
romance with its inseparable interrelation between ethics and
epics.
