As a novel-writer and a dramatist, Gogol appears to me to deserve a minute study, and if the knowledge of Russian were more widely Spread, he could not fail to obtain in Europe a reputation equal to that of the best English humorists. A delicate and close observer, quick to detect the absurd, bold in exposing, but inclined to push his fun too far, Gogol is in the first place a very lively satirist. He is merciless towards fools and rascals, but he has only one weapon at his disposal – irony. This is a weapon which is too severe to use against the merely absurd, and on the other hand it is not sharp enough for the punishment of crime; and it is against crime that Gogol too often uses it. His comic vein is always too near the farcical, and his mirth is hardly contagious. If sometimes he makes his reader laugh, he still leaves in his mind a feeling of bitterness and indignation; his satires do not avenge society, they only make it angry.

The Mantle is also referred to as "The Overcoat"- GR review of this story: A tragic, Kafkaesque morality tale about social isolation, bureaucracy, and the danger of judging by appearances. Akakii has a menial office job in a department where no one respects him and promotion is unlikely. But he is dutiful and never complains, content with his fate . When his threadbare overcoat cannot hold yet another repair, he saves up for a year to afford a new one, excitedly planning the design with a tailor. The coat is worth the wait and sacrifices: he feels confident, visible, and respected – but perhaps it s mockery that he doesn t realise (he comes across as being on the autistic spectrum). Old-Fashioned Farmers, aka The Old World Landowners, 1835, 4* The beautiful rain patters luxuriously on the leaves, flows in murmuring rivulets, inclining your limbs to repose. A story of bucolic abundance, tinged with sadness. It has explicit echoes of Baucis and Philemon from Greek mythology. The narrator reminisces about staying in a manor house, with a loved-up but childless elderly couple, generous in their hospitality, and kind to their staff and locals. With so much salting, preserving, and drying, the kitchen is like a chemical lab, and the stores are always full (despite shrinkage ).
