There are novels ten times the length (or more) that say one tenth as much. I'm tempted to learn Russian so as to penetrate what's so clearly there, yet lost in translation. Also, skaz. ( )

An excellent story which shows loss of humanity and concern for each other. People are busy in their own lives feeding their own happiness and ego, but they tend to forget that others are also important. But, nowadays people are happy trampling other's happiness under their own feet.

Akakii also wanted an overcoat which brought him immense happiness and recognition. But, the world had some other plans for him.

Really good short story. Listened from an audiobook. It was a good experience. ( )
