The Overcoat

In this poignant tale by Fyodor Dostoevsky, an impoverished clerk leads a life of unappreciated dedication as a routine copyist, enduring mockery from younger colleagues. His meager existence takes a hopeful turn when he saves to purchase a new overcoat, only to have it stolen on the very night he wears it out. This devastating loss leads to his untimely demise, and soon after, his ghost is said to haunt the streets of St. Petersburg where his cherished coat disappeared.
