Very interesting book. It describes a very special kind of credit fraud with dead serfs as collateral. That's shitcoinery in 1842.

Xactly. Can't understand how Gogol wrote it so much long ago

Is it an easy read - accessible? It sounds really interesting, but some of the older books are a little tough to get into because of archaic language, etc.

Do you know rus language? If yes it's wrote in modern style and it's over my head how Gogol made it
