    About this audiobook

    This captivating volume presents a collection of Dostoyevsky's tales, inviting readers to explore the universal truths and profound insights embedded within his narratives. From the intriguing moral complexities of "An Honest Thief" to the enchanting symbolism of "The Heavenly Christmas Tree," and the poignant depiction of rural life in "The Peasant Marey," these stories showcase the breadth of Dostoyevsky's literary mastery. With his keen understanding of the human psyche, Dostoyevsky delves into the complexities of human nature, illuminating the inner struggles, desires, and moral dilemmas that define our existence. Through his tales, readers are transported to a world where the human condition is laid bare, inviting introspection and reflection on the timeless themes of morality, redemption, and the depths of the human soul.

    Fyodor Dostoevsky

    Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in Moscow in 1821. Between 1838 and 1843 he studied at the St Petersburg Engineering Academy. His first work of fiction was the epistolary novel Poor Folk (1846), which met with a generally favourable response. However, his immediately subsequent works were less enthusiastically received. In 1849 Dostoevsky was arrested as a member of the socialist Petrashevsky circle, and subjected to a mock execution. He suffered four years in a Siberian penal settlement and then another four years of enforced military service. He returned to writing in the late 1850s and travelled abroad in the 1860s. It was during the last twenty years of his life that he wrote the iconic works, such as Notes from the Underground (1864), Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1868) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880), which were to form the basis of his formidable reputation. He died in 1881.
