"The Mantle" comes after the life of an civil servant, Akaki Akakievitch who just is in love with his work! Created in St Petersburg, he's a copy article writer, signifying he copies content material from one spot to another. In his free time and after work hours, he also copies. When given more responsibility, he begs to return to...copying. One particular winter, he notices that, between home and office, he's frigid, his mantle is threadbare, and he can no longer repair it himself. Our conflict begins here, as Akaki looks for a remedy to his threadbare mantle. Nicolai Gogol is a wonderfully observant writer and his individuals are so wealthy that we feel we can understand their things of view. This tragicomedy is Russian contemporary society in the mid 1800s at its most wonderful!
