It is not necessary to say much about this tailor; but, as it is the custom to have the character of each personage in a novel clearly defined, there is no help for it, so here is Petrovitch the tailor. At first he was called only Grigoriy, and was some gentleman's serf; he commenced calling himself Petrovitch from the time when he received his free papers, and further began to drink heavily on all holidays, at first on the great ones, and then on all church festivities without discrimination, wherever a cross stood in the calendar.

The title story of this book is about a civil servant trying to get his stolen coat back. Classic stories that I really hope to read in the coming year. Focusing on getting through books I already own next year. #sellmeacoat #winterwonderland

Cinfhen For some reason your blurb reminds me of a book I read this year, where a diplomat‘s jacket is stolen at a restaurant and his phone was in the pocket and it‘s somehow imperative that he gets his jacket back. Damn, I have no clue what book that was!!!! Does anyone remember reading something similar???? (edited) 6y
TrishB Great pic 👍🏻 nothing springs to mind @Cinfhen 6y
Cinfhen Thanks @TrishB I‘m hoping someone might remember 🤞🏼🤞🏼 6y
Dogearedcopy @Cinfhen Now that you mention it, I recall a similar plot but for some reason, I think it‘s a movie? Not that that helps because I can‘t remember the name of the movie either! 😜 6y
Cinfhen Hahaha @Dogearedcopy it‘s sooooo annoying that I can‘t remember!!!! 6y

Mehso-so

Interesting short story bit the author Takes too long describing the main character. The ending is quite interesting.
