Gogols Erzählung vermischt reale Alltäglichkeiten mit absurder Komik. Nichts scheint zunächst in dieser Geschichte zu stimmen, und doch stimmt alles: Der Barbier Iwan Jakowlewitsch findet beim Frühstück in seinem Brot eine Nase, die dem 37-jährigen Kollegienassessor Kowaljow gehört, den er immer mittwochs und sonntags rasiert. Voller Angst verpackt er die Nase in ein Papier und wirft sie von einer Brücke in die Newa. Entsprechend stellt jener Kowaljow beim Erwachen fest, dass ihm seine Nase fehlt.

Nikolaj Gogol (1809-1852) gilt als eigentlicher Begründer des sozialkritischen Realismus der russischen Literatur. Für Gogols Werk kennzeichnend ist einerseits die auf seine russische Mutter zurückgehende abgründige, apokalyptische Mystik und andererseits die auf die ukrainische Herkunft des Vaters fußende skurrile Leichtigkeit und Sinnfreudigkeit. Dabei tritt bei Gogol alle sinnliche Problematik als buntes äußeres Geschehen hervor.

In einem Dorf im Niemandsland leben zwei Gutsherren, die ein Herz und eine Seele verkörpern. Sie gehen Arm in Arm zum Gottesdienst und erkundigen sich täglich nach dem Befinden des anderen bis aus einer Nichtigkeit ein Streit von apokalyptischem Ausmaß entfacht wird, der aus den ehemals besten Freunden Todfeinde werden lässt, die mit allen Mitteln versuchen sich gegenseitig zu vernichten.

Aus einer klerikalen Bildungseinrichtung in die Ferien entlassen strömen die jungen Rhetoriker, Grammatiker, Theologen und Philosophen ihren Elternhäusern zu. Der elternlose Choma Brut bekommt einen Sonderauftrag - er soll bei der verstorbenen Tochter eines Gutsbesitzers eine dreitägige Gebetszeremonie durchführen. Im Prinzip kein Problem für den abergläubischen und gottesfürchtigen Philosophen, aber wenn erst mal Tote auferstehen, Särge durch Kirchen fliegen und der Wij - ein grauenerregender Gnomen-Fürst - einem ins Angesicht blickt sieht die Sache schon etwas anders aus.

The Cloak (sometimes translated as Overcoat) is a short story by Russian author Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842.

The story narrates the life and death of titular councillor Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin, an impoverished government clerk and copyist in the Russian capital of St. Petersburg. Akaky is dedicated to his job, though little recognized in his department for his hard work.

May Night, or the Drowned Maiden, 1831 is the third tale in the collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka by Nikolai Gogol.

This story comes from the unnamed story-teller (who was previously responsible for "The Fair at Sorochyntsi"). In this tale, a young Cossack named Levko, the son of the mayor, is in love with Hanna. He comes to her house to talk about marriage and mentions that his father is not pleased with the idea, though he doesn't say anything directly and merely ignores him.
