About this audiobook
Nikolai Gogol
Nikolai Gogol was a Russian novelist and playwright born in what is now considered part of the modern Ukraine. By the time he was 15, Gogol worked as an amateur writer for both Russian and Ukrainian scripts, and then turned his attention and talent to prose. His short-story collections were immediately successful and his first novel, The Government Inspector, was well-received. Gogol went on to publish numerous acclaimed works, including Dead Souls, The Portrait, Marriage, and a revision of Taras Bulba. He died in 1852 while working on the second part of Dead Souls.

Reviews for The Overcoat
27 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Avoid this narrator at all cost. Couldn’t get into the book due to this.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The American-accented narrator is a terrible choice. Wouldn’t listen past 10 seconds.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The arrogance in the voice is very distracting
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The story was red like a news report. The person reading this particular one did an intro and then a follow up to kind of share his take on the story. I think it was fine I liked it. I do remember reading this as a younger person. The pain of putting all of your desires enjoy and one basket and then to have them ripped away with no hope lives across the ages
