	Dead Souls - Wikisource
		Dead Souls, which bears the word "Poem" upon the title page of the original, has been generally compared to Don Quixote and to the Pickwick Papers, while E. Vogue places its author somewhere between Cervantes and Le Sage.
		The plan of Chichikov, Gogol's hero-villain, was therefore to make a journey through Russia and buy up the "dead souls," at reduced rates of course, saving their owners the government tax, and acquiring for himself a list of fictitious serfs, which he meant to mortgage to a bank for a considerable sum.
		Even Revizor (1835), with its tragic undercurrent, was a trifle compared to Dead Souls, so that one is not astonished to hear that not only did the Tsar, Nicholas I, give permission to have it acted, in spite of its being a criticism of official rottenness, but laughed uproariously, and led the applause.

	LOS DIAS DE LOS MUERTOS (The Days of the Dead). By Judy King - ON MEXICO CONNECT
		Many families honor their ancestors and dead with home altars, laden with harvest fruits, traditional bread with crossed bones on dough on top, all to greet the spirits as they return to the home for 24 hours each year.
		The Celtic dead were believed to have access to earth on Samhain, October 31st, when the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead relaxed.
		From these ancestors has come the knowledge that souls continue to exist after death, resting placidly in Mictlan, the land of the dead, not for judgment or resurrection; but for the day each year when they could return home to visit their loved ones.

	Dead Inside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dead Inside is a horror/fantasy role-playing game based around the concept of characters who have lost or were born without their souls.
		Their souls can be stolen by cracking the "shell" (although this is difficult), or they can be traded away with the owner's consent (easier).
		Dead souls lacking bodies are ordinarily called back to the Source; however, some remain in the Worlds (both Real and Spirit), usually due to some ties they still have to their previous existence.

	Day of the Dead - 1/03/97
		They also believed that a person's destiny was founded at birth and that the soul of that person was dependent on the type of death rather than the type of life lead by that person.
		The Day of the Dead was revealed as a result of amalgamation of Pre-Spanish Indian ritual beliefs and the imposed ritual and dogma of the Catholic church.
		It is believed that the dead partake of the food in spirit and the living eat it later.

		Coming back to America from a foreign strand, they are not likely to be overwhelmed with deep feelings of commitment to their "native land." Their attitudes and behavior contrast with the overwhelming patriotism and nationalistic identification of the rest of the American public.
		A major gap is growing in America between the dead or dying souls among its elites and its "Thank God for America" public.

	Dead Souls - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dead Souls (Russian: Мёртвые души, Myortvyye dushi) is a satirical prose narrative, subtitled poema ("an epic poem"), by the Russian author Nikolai Gogol.
		Setting off for the surrounding estates, Chichikov at first assumes that the ignorant provincials will be more than eager to give their dead souls up in exchange for a token payment.
		Very suddenly however, rumours flare up that the serfs he bought are all dead, and that he was planning on eloping with the Governor's daughter.

	"Stealing Dead Souls"
		When such photographic images are taken, the only thing the photographer can do to make the universe right with what he or she has done is to place the photograph, which I believe to be a living organism, into a context of positive growth.
		This choice in cameras is important to me because I believe that the snap-shot aesthetic impacts the soul of the object or person photographed less so than the manipulated, forced, arranged and conscious act of photographing an object or person with a high-art aesthetic sensibility using high-art camera equipment.
		Photographing the burned and charred body with the permission of the dead is the moral act of an immoral photographer and may very well be in some cases a necessary evil.

	Crescent Blues Book Views \| Ian Rankin: Dead Souls
		Dead Souls speaks to the fear in all of us -- fear of despair, of our very lives crumbling into a morass of desolate days, wondering why.
		The depth and scope of this novel showcase the talent of Ian Rankin, who can take even such dark subjects, use some word polish and create this superb, moody piece that a reader can't put down.
		Dead Souls proves that Rankin knows his stuff, pushing the limits of the standard British police procedural, throwing chiaroscuro light on both Rebus and his world, insisting we keep reading to discover what lies just beyond the illumination.

		Though Chichikov would still have to pay taxes on his dead souls, one would assume that the benefits of mortgaging them would greatly outweigh the tax burden.
		In addition, during the next census, Chichikov could finally report these souls as dead, and perhaps gain some sort of compensation from the Russian government for suffering such a huge business loss.
		If inquiries were to be made into his actions, Chichikov feels confident that finding a corrupt government official to verify the legality of his endeavors will be quite easy.
