The Overcoat: And Other Tales of Good and Evil (Paperback)
$12.95
Usually Ships in 1-5 days
Description
With the publication of "The Overcoat" in 1842, Nicolai Gogol (1809 1852) inaugurated a new chapter in Russian literature, in which the underdog and social misfit is treated not as a figure of fun or an object of charity, but as a human being with as much right to happiness as anybody else.
