Dead Souls

Chichikov, a mysterious stranger, arrives in the provincial town of 'N', visiting a succession of landowners and making each a strange offer. He proposes to buy the names of dead serfs still registered on the census, saving their owners from paying tax on them, and to use these 'dead souls' as collateral to re-invent himself as a aristocrat.

Cicikov, un strain misterios, ajunge in orasul de provincie ,,N", vizitand o succesiune de proprietari si facand fiecaruia o oferta ciudata. El propune sa cumpere numele iobagilor morti inca inscrisi la recensamant, scutindu-le proprietarii de la plata impozitului pe ei si sa foloseasca aceste ,,suflete moarte" ca garantie pentru a se reinventa ca aristocrat.
