Le Manteau - Le Nez

Nikolai Gogol

This volume brings together two fantastic and satirical tales by Nikolai Gogol. In The Overcoat, the humble clerk Akaky Akakievich sacrifices everything for a new coat before its theft overturns his life. In The Nose, Major Kovalyov wakes without his nose and pursues the missing organ through Saint Petersburg after it assumes the identity of a high-ranking official.
