The Mantle follows the life of a civil servant, Akaki Akakievitch who just loves his work! Born in St Petersburg, he is a copy writer, meaning he copies text from one place to another. In his spare time and after work hours, he also copies. When given more responsibility, he begs to return to...copying. One particular winter, he notices that, between home and office, he is cold, his mantle is threadbare, and he can no longer repair it himself. Our conflict begins here, as Akaki seeks a solution to his threadbare mantle.

Die streitbaren Helden der Geschichte, Iwan Iwanowitsch und Iwan Nikiphorowitsch, sind zunächst friedliche Nachbarn und scheinbar unzertrennliche Freunde, bis ein geringfügiger Anlass ihre Eintracht zerstört. Die beiden geraten in einen Streit, der immer kuriosere Formen annimmt und der - vor den Kadi gebracht - sicher erst mit dem Ableben eines der beiden Kampfhähne enden wird. Gogol nimmt diesen Streit zum Anlass, den russischen Alltag zu karikieren und sich über die Spezies Mensch, die sich hier nicht von ihrer vorteilhaftesten Seite zeigt, lustig zu machen.

He lives a hand-to-mouth existence with his elderly landlady and has little money. But the harsh weather in St. Petersburg necessitates the purchase of a new cloak.
