Description

Almas muertas es una obra maestra del siglo XIX de la literatura rusa, escrita por Nikolái Gógol y publicada en 1842. Gógol la definió como un poema épico en prosa. Tiene ciertas similitudes con El Quijote pues el protagonista Chíchikov junto con su cochero y un criado emprenden un viaje en su troika por los amplios territorios de la vasta Rusia deteniéndose en ciudades y aldeas con la intención de comprar almas, almas muertas. En el Imperio ruso antes de la emancipación de los siervos en 1861, los propietarios tenían derecho a poseer siervos para cultivar sus tierras. Los siervos eran para la mayoría de los propósitos considerados propiedad del terrateniente, y podrían ser comprados, vendidos o hipotecados en contra, como un bien. Para contar los siervos (y personas en general), se utilizaba la palabra «alma»: por ejemplo, «seis almas de siervos». La trama de la novela se apoya en las «almas muertas» (es decir, «siervos muertos») que se inscriben en los registros de la propiedad. En otro nivel, el título hace referencia a las «almas muertas» de los personajes de Gógol, todo lo cual hace visualizar diferentes aspectos de la póshlost (palabra rusa, quizás más traducida como «banalidad» o «vulgaridad», moral y espiritual, con matices de pretensiones de clase media, la significación falsa, y el filisteísmo).
