Description:

The Learning Resource Centre hosted a Book Club session dedicated to Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol, a classic work offering a satirical yet profound reflection on human nature and society.

During the session, participants explored Gogol’s portrayal of characters encountered by Chichikov during his journey through the Russian countryside. The discussion focused on key themes such as greed, moral emptiness, self-interest, and the distinction between a “living” and a “dead” soul. Attendees reflected on how humor and irony are used to reveal deeper social and personal truths, and why the novel remains relevant today.

The session encouraged open discussion and critical thinking, inviting participants to share interpretations and personal reflections. The event concluded with a short quiz, and one participant received a prize. Held in a warm and reflective atmosphere, the discussion was accompanied by tea and light refreshments, contributing to a thoughtful and engaging experience.
