I started to read Dead Souls
novel by Nikolai Gogol
Very interesting book. It describes a very special kind of credit fraud with dead serfs as collateral. That's shitcoinery in 1842.
reply
Xactly. Can't understand how Gogol wrote it so much long ago
reply
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.
reply
Do you know rus language?
If yes it's wrote in modern style and it's over my head how Gogol made it
