These bizarre and wildly imaginative pieces, written in Soviet Russia forty years ago, are as vital and disturbing as the best of today’s absurdist literature. Almost none of the works of Daniil Kharms and Alexander Vvedensky have been published before in any language.

First published in English in 1967, The Spirit of Russia by Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, edited by George Gibian, is a profound exploration of Russian thought, literature, and culture. This work examines the philosophies and ideologies of key Russian writers, including Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and others, while delving into themes such as nationalism, nihilism, and Russia's relationship with Europe. Masaryk’s incisive analysis of Russian character, politics, and literature makes this book an essential resource for understanding Russia’s intellectual and cultural heritage. This is a must read for scholars of Russian literature.

A few factual points ought to be explained to the reader, even though the novel itself eventually suffices to clarify some of them. First, the title of the book. Among Russian serf-owning gentry, the idiomatic way to assess someone’s wealth was to express it in terms of the number of “souls” he owned—that is, male, adult serfs. Taxes on serfs had to be paid by the owner until the next census or registration date even if they may have died in the meantime. Gogol’s “dead souls,” in addition to this literal reference to serfs who had died since the last registration date for serfs, are also a metaphor for the dead moral and spiritual sensibilities of the many inhabitants of Gogol’s zoo. This title ran into trouble with Gogol’s censors, who held the ridiculous suspicion that the title might be a blasphemous attack on the immortality of the human soul. Gogol therefore added the title “Chichikov’s Adventures.”
