"I know," he replied quickly; "I know that you once loved. But death and three years of mourning may have worked some change. Dear, kind Maria, do not try to deprive me of my last consolation; the idea that you might have consented to make me happy if——. Don't speak, for God's sake don't speak—you torture me. Yes, I know, I feel that you could have been mine, but—I am the most miserable of beings—I am already married!"

"It is too late now to resist my fate. The remembrance of you, your dear incomparable image, must from to-day be at once the torment and the consolation of my existence. I have now a grave duty to perform, a terrible secret to disclose, which will place between us an insurmountable barrier."
It has always existed!" interrupted Maria; "I could never have been your wife."

"I have behaved imprudently, yielding as I have done to the seductive pleasure of seeing and hearing you daily." Maria recollected the first letter of St. Preux in 'La Nouvelle Héloïse."

My friends who love Russian literature, I present to you the timeless classic story “The Overcoat” by the Russian writer Nikolai Gogol.
"The Overcoat" (Russian: Шине́ль, trans. Shinyél'; sometimes translated as "The Cloak") is a short story by Nikolai Gogol, published in 1842. The story had a major influence on Russian literature. “We all came out from under Gogol's coat,” said Eugene Melchior de Fogoy, discussing Russian realist writers. In 1941, Vladimir Nabokov described The Overcoat as "the greatest Russian short story ever written."
The story narrates the life and death of titular councillor Akaky Akakievich Bashmachkin (Russian: Акакий Акакиевич Башмачкин), an impoverished government clerk and copyist in the Russian capital of St. Petersburg. Although Akaky is dedicated to his job, he is little recognized in his department for his hard work. Instead, the younger clerks tease him and attempt to distract him whenever they can. His threadbare overcoat is often the butt of their jokes. Akaky decides it is necessary to have the coat repaired, so he takes it to his tailor, Petrovich, who declares the coat irreparable, telling Akaky he must buy a new overcoat.
The cost of a new overcoat is beyond Akaky's meager salary, so he forces himself to live within a strict budget to save sufficient money to buy the new overcoat. Meanwhile, he and Petrovich frequently meet to discuss the style of the new coat. During that time, Akaky's zeal for copying is replaced with excitement about his new overcoat, to the point that he thinks of little else. Finally, with the addition of an unexpectedly large holiday salary bonus, Akaky has saved enough money to buy a new overcoat.
The new coat is of impressively good quality and appearance and is the talk of Akaky's office on the day he arrives wearing it. His superior decides to host a party honoring the new overcoat, at which the habitually solitary Akaky is out of place; after the party, Akaky goes home, far later than he normally would. En route home, two ruffians confront him, take his coat, kick him down, and leave him in the snow.
Akaky finds no help from the authorities in recovering his lost overcoat. Finally, on the advice of another clerk in his department, he asks for help from an "important personage" . After keeping Akaky waiting, the general demands of him exactly why he has brought so trivial a matter to him, personally, and not presented it to his secretary. Socially inept Akaky makes an unflattering remark concerning departmental secretaries, provoking so powerful a scolding from the general that he nearly faints and must be led from the general's office. Soon afterward, Akaky falls deathly ill with fever. In his last hours, he is delirious, imagining himself again sitting before the general; at first, Akaky pleads forgiveness, but as his death nears, he curses the general.
Soon, a corpse, identified as Akaky's ghost, haunts areas of St. Petersburg, taking overcoats from people; the police are finding it difficult to capture him. Finally, Akaky's ghost catches up with the general—who, since Akaky's death, had begun to feel guilt over having mistreated him—and takes his overcoat, frightening him terribly; satisfied, Akaky is not seen again. The narrator ends his narration with the account of another ghost seen in another part of the city. This other ghost meets the description of one of the ruffians.
My friends, I would like to know your opinion in the comments about the story and the video editing style, if you like it. Enjoy

But she was still sitting in a bower from which the deserted high road could be seen, when all at once her attention was caught by a light cloud of dust rising in the distance. After looking at it for some moments, she ended by making out several vehicles, closely following one another. First came a light calash, with two places, in which was the general, wearing his large and glittering epaulettes, with the colonel. This was followed by another with four places, containing the captain, the aide-de-camp and two lieutenants. Further on, came the celebrated regimental vehicle, the present owner of which was the major, and behind that another in which were packed five officers, one on his comrade’s knees, the procession being closed by three more on three fine bays.

Tchertokoutski always wore a coat of a military cut, spurs and moustache, in order not to have it supposed that he had served in the infantry, a branch of the service upon which he lavished the most contemptuous expressions. He instinctively guessed the spot in which a regiment of cavalry was to be found and never failed to introduce himself to the officers. He usually behaved after the fashion of a great noble.

"The Signal-Man" is a short story written by Charles Dickens. It was first published in 1866 as part of the Mugby Junction collection. The story is a blend of mystery, supernatural elements, and psychological tension.
The plot revolves around a narrator who encounters a signalman, a solitary and troubled figure, while on a walk near a railway cutting. The signalman works in a small signal box that overlooks a railway line. Despite his ordinary job, the signalman is haunted by a mysterious specter that appears before tragic events on the track
The narrator becomes intrigued by the signalman's strange behavior and learns about the haunting experiences he has had with the ghostly figure. The signalman describes the apparition as a spectral figure who signals danger with its actions, but the ghostly warnings are always followed by a tragic event.
As the story unfolds, the narrator tries to understand the nature of the spectral appearances and whether they are premonitions or hallucinations. Dickens weaves a tale that explores themes of isolation, fatalism, and the impact of modern technology on individuals. The story's eerie atmosphere and the psychological toll on the signalman contribute to its lasting appeal in the genre of supernatural fiction.
