I'm faced with a quandary - where do I place this book in the Goodreads AtY reading challenge? A book originally written in a language other than English? A book with a body part in the title? A short book? A book rated 5 stars by at least one of your friends? A book you have high expectations or hope for? A book set in a country you'd like to visit but have never been to? A suggestion from the AtY 2018 polls, that didn't win but was polarizing or a close-call (i.e., a book written before 1900)? A ghost story? An award-winning short story or short story collection (The Overcoat is considered by many as one of greatest short stories ever written)? A book where the main character (or author) is of a different ethnic origin, religion, or sexual identity than your own? Decisions...Decisions.

In any event, I really enjoyed this book.

أسلوب الكاتب المميز في السخرية كان في محلها.

المعطف لم اشعر بأي معنى بها على الأطلاق❌ و الأنف عجبتني لفنتازيتها !
كلا القصتين لها معنى و لكن يوماً بعد يوم يزيد تفكيري بأن الأدب الروسي ليس لي!.

قصتين قصيرتان ، و لكن كلها عظم و تعاليم و قيم نتعلمها دون قصد و عبر الاستمتاع بأحداث الرواية .
من اجمل ما قرأت من القصص القصيرة و رائعة من الناحية الروائية و التشويق الهادئ

عظيمة و تستحق القرائة جدا
