The Overcoat: And Other Stories by Nikolai Gogol

The Overcoat: And Other Stories by Nikolai Gogol

A poor, unremarkable government clerk saves for months to buy a new overcoat, and the small triumph of finally owning it — followed swiftly by its theft — becomes the occasion for one of literature's most quietly devastating studies of dignity, invisibility and bureaucratic cruelty.

This collection pairs The Overcoat with other classic Gogol stories, showcasing his singular blend of absurdist comedy and genuine pathos, and Dostoevsky's famous, possibly apocryphal remark that all Russian literature emerged from this one story speaks to its outsized influence on the tradition that followed.

A foundational work of Russian literature, alongside other essential Gogol short fiction.
