Beschreibung

In The Overcoat, Nikolai Gogol masterfully weaves a haunting tale of the human condition. Set in the cold, bureaucratic world of 19th-century St. Petersburg, this unforgettable short story follows the life of Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin, a lowly government clerk whose existence is defined by routine and ridicule. When his old, threadbare coat can no longer protect him from the harsh winter, Akaky embarks on an obsessive quest to save for a new one. What begins as a simple need for warmth transforms into a desperate search for dignity, self-worth, and respect in a society that relentlessly overlooks him. 
Gogol’s tale of loneliness, social oppression, and tragic irony has resonated with readers for generations, earning its place as a cornerstone of Russian literature. 
Narrated by Mark Antony Stormrider, this audiobook breathes new life into Gogol's chilling exploration of class and human despair, drawing listeners into the story’s atmospheric streets of St. Petersburg with captivating depth and intensity.
