Vitezović's aphorisms suggest a double reception to the modern reader in a certain, sensitive way.
They should be read in the time when they were written and now, so to speak, timeless, when the so-called reality surpassed and rhymed with many "harsh words" with its original satire.
Dead Souls (1842) is a brilliant satire that exposes the moral and social rot of imperial Russia through Chichikov's fraud with dead serfs, with Gogol's virtuoso mix of humor, irony and lyricism.
