Description
" The Overcoat " (Russian: Шине́ль, translit. Shinyél’; sometimes translated as " The Cloak ") is a short story by Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842. The story has had a great influence on Russian literature. Eugène- Melchior de Vogüé, discussing Russian realist writers, said: "We all came out from under Gogol's Overcoat" (a quote often misattributed to Dostoevsky). Writing in 1941, Vladimir Nabokov described "The Overcoat" as "The greatest Russian short story ever written".
