N. Gogol. Il Cappotto: Short Stories
� di Dostoevskij l'affermazione "Siamo tutti usciti dal Cappotto di Gogol." E in effetti Gogol, nato nel primo decennio del XIX secolo, � il maestro del realismo socialista che influenzer� la letteratura russa del suo secolo. Il cappotto � un romanzo breve, che nelle sue tinte comiche, a tratti grottesche, ha saputo dipingere un quadro mai scomparso della mediocrit� dell'essere umano. Nel XX secolo ha ispirato teatro, cinema; in Italia, lo scomparso artista Paolo Villaggio, insignito del Premio Gogol, confess� la personale ispirazione alla letteratura russa nella propria vita artistica e non.
