Overcoat - Brief Classics 19 Book Description

Gogol, the pioneer of Russian realism, included the "little man" in literature with The Overcoat, which was included in his story collection Petersburg Stories, which he wrote during the tsarist period when the monarchy reigned. When he released Akakiy Akakiyevich, an ordinary clerk, into the streets with his new coat on his back, the character's suffering caused by the reality of life so frightened the bureaucratic apparatus at the center of feudalism that Gogol was accused of insulting the Russian people and betraying his people.

The story in which Gogol tells the desperate struggle of an ordinary person from the silent crowd, who is ignored and despised, with his satirical approach, shaped the entire Russian literature, from Dostoyevsky to Tolstoy, from Turgenev to Chekhov.

“Give me a creative reader. The coat is for him.”

-Vladimir Nabokov -
