Fyodor Dostoevsky, the author of Crime and Punishment, once said, “We all come out from Gogol's 'The Overcoat.'" The story centers on an impoverished clerk who is dedicated to his job as a routine copyist but not recognized for his hard work. Younger clerks mock him for his dedication. His threadbare overcoat is mocked as well. He saves up to buy a new one and wears it for one glorious evening, only to have it stolen that night. He dies soon after from his great loss. Thereafter, his ghost is reported to haunt that part of St. Petersburg where the coat was stolen.

Thank you Gogol. This is a wonderful peace of literature, a wonderful story and psychological insight. The afterword to the novel is great. One of the best short stories ever written. It is a must for every lover of real literature. Read it, listen to it, enjoy it.

Literature at it's best!
