Book Excerpt: 
. . .Akaki made long calculations, and at last determined that he must, at least for a whole year, reduce some of his daily expenses. He would have to give up his tea in the evening, and copy his documents in his landlady's room, in order to economise the fuel in his own. He also resolved to avoid rough pavements as much as possible, in order to spare his shoes; and finally to give out less washing to the laundress.

At first he found these deprivations rather trying; but gradually he got accustomed to them, and at last took to going to bed without any supper at all. Although his body suffered from this abstinence, his spirit derived all the richer nutriment from perpetually thinking about his new cloak. From that time it seemed as though his nature had completed itself; as though he had married and possessed a companion on his life journey. This companion was the thought of his new cloak, properly wadded and lined.

From that time he became more livel. . . Read More

البقاء للاقوى؛أو للاوقح..او للاسوأ..لم يعد هناك اي فارق في هذا الكوكب البغيض..هذا هو الإحساس المر الذي سيتبقى في حلقك بعد 23صفحة هي مجمل هذه
القصة الإنسانية القاسية عن القهر و لا شيء سواه

You might think that a book called Evenings on a Farm Near Dinanka was not a guaranteed bestseller but that’s because you aren’t from 19th century Russia.

داستان ناراحت کننده ای بود، حتی با وجود کوتاه بودن.

جمله اي كه استاد جلسه قبل از داستايوسكي نقل كرد باعث شد اسمش تو ذهنم بمونه تا بخونمش. اين جمله معروف داستايوسكي كه: ما همگي از زير شنل گوگول بيرون آمده ايم...

‎دوستانِ گرانقدر، تجسم سازی و صحنه سازی هایِ زنده یاد «گوگول» در این داستان، بسیار زیبا و هنرمندانه است و به خوبی فضایِ روسیهٔ آن زمان را در دلِ این داستان، برایِ شما تصویرسازیِ ذهنی میکند
‎این داستان در موردِ کارمندی بسیار فقیر و ساده و بیچاره ای به نامِ «آکاکی آکا کیویچ» است
‎او قدِ کوتاه و صورتی آب

هر چند اسم اصلى داستان در روسى "شنل"ـه، اما منظور شنلى كه امروز ما مى شناسيم نيست و بيشتر "اوركت" منظوره. شنل آستین و دکمه نداره و روی دوش انداخته میشه، به خلاف اورکت. همچنین شنل بیشتر لباس تجملاتیه، نه لباسی که یه کارمند فقیر برای زمستان بخواد بپوشه. اسم داستان هم در ترجمۀ انگلیسی "اُورکت" و در ترج
