I loved these two stories by Nikolai Gogol! The Overcoat is a tragic tale of a poor man whose new overcoat is stolen, and is both a heartbreaking story about bullying and lack of compassion, but also a social commentary on the gap between rich and poor.
The Nose is an absurd and very funny story of a nose that goes missing! Both stories are really well-written, and very entertaining.
