দস্তয়েভস্কি বলেছেন , "আমরা সবাই বেরিয়েছি গোগোলের "ওভারকোট" থেকেই"।

নিকোলাই গোগোল পড়ে ভীষণ মুগ্ধ হলাম। রুপকথা আর সাইন্স ফিকশন বাদে রুশ সাহিত্য আমার তেমন পড়া নেই।অনেকেই বলে রুশ সাহিত্য নাকি কঠিন বাস্তবকে কেন্দ্র করে লিখিত। তাই ভেবেছিলাম গোগোলের গল্প বুঝি কঠিন কঠোর বাস্তবতার গল্প হবে। কিন্তু ' ওভারকোট' পড়েই আমি বিস্মিত! এত চমৎকার হিউমার!! গোগোলের রসবোধে মুগ্ধ না হয়ে পারা যায়না।তার বিদ্রুপের লক্ষ হচ্ছে তৎকালীন কেরানি আর অফিসারবর্গদের মূর্খতা আর পদমর্যাদা নিয়ে বাড়াবাড়ি রকমের সচেতনা। আর নিকোলাই গোগোলের গল্প হিউমারাস এবং সুররিয়ালিস্টিক। সম্ভবত রাশিয়াতে সুরলিয়াল লেখা উনি ই প্রথম লেখেন। উনার ' নাক ' এক অনবদ্য গল্প। রুশ সাহিত্যের যাত্রা আমার বেশ চমৎকারভাবেই শুরু হলো।

Amazing stories by Gogol. The bengali translation is beautiful expect for the names of the characters which makes them sound a bit weird. The characters and their situations are narrated with exquisite brilliance. Would definitely love to read more of Gogol in the future.
