Akaky Akakyevich Bashmachkin, a titular counsellor at one of the St. Petersburg offices, has been harassed and ridiculed by everyone for 33 years. For this gentle-hearted failure in life, his only dream is to own a coat, because as the owner of "the most beautiful coat in the world," he can finally feel equal to other people.
