Overcoat and Other Tales of Good and Evil

The Overcoat, considered Gogol's masterpiece, is a story about an obscure St. Petersburg bureaucrat. Gogol has been called the father of Russian modernism and realism. His stories, with their humor and archetypal Russian characters, had a profound influence on Dostoevsky, Nabokov, and others. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
