Nikolai Gogol – The Overcoat (Palto) – Karbon Kitaplar Edition (2000s)

Description:

This is a 2000s Ottoman Turkish edition of The Overcoat (Palto), published by Karbon Kitaplar as part of a series designed to promote Ottoman Turkish reading and language learning. Written by Nikolai Gogol and first published in 1842, the story is one of the most influential short works in Russian literature.

The narrative follows Akaky Akakievich, a low-ranking and socially invisible government clerk living in St. Petersburg. His life is marked by poverty, routine, and humiliation until he saves enough money to buy a new overcoat. This simple garment briefly transforms his social experience, but after a tragic loss, his life takes a dark and surreal turn. The story explores themes of poverty, bureaucracy, alienation, and human dignity, blending realism with elements of the grotesque and the supernatural.

Nikolai Gogol is considered one of the founding figures of Russian literary realism and satire. His works often expose the absurdities of bureaucracy and the fragility of human existence with dark humor and emotional depth. In The Overcoat, he presents one of the most famous critiques of social indifference in world literature.

This Karbon Kitaplar edition is notable for being printed in Ottoman Turkish (Osmanlıca), aimed at readers interested in historical language study and classical texts. As both a literary and linguistic edition, it holds unique educational and collectible value.
