Gogol's dead souls is online...
 

Apologies for the new thread, but I figure a lot of people won't bother reading the other threads if they haven't found the book yet.

This is the page I'm currently on. The book is public domain, so you can read it online without infringing any copyright laws.

well, yeah

the one I have is the George Reavey translation.

Cover:



(it sure wasn't easy to find that cover hehe)
It's the 1966 Airmont mass-marketed paperback. The Reavey translation was also adopted for the Norton Critical Edition which has an introduction by George Gibian. Gibian also introduces the Jesse Coulson translation of Crime & Punishment for the Norton Critical Edition which is the one that I prefer above all others.
