"The Overcoat" is a short story about the life of a poor, self-contained official. Every day he had to endure insults and bullying from colleagues. And then an overcoat became the only meaning of life, and fate for him. The author masterfully showed all the indifference and ruthlessness to the poor official. It's a great tale that is strange, tragic and even has a supernatural thing.
A pearl.

"Leave me alone! Why do you insult me?" and in those heart-rending words he heard others: "I am your brother.”
