What a sad story.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

There certainly is a melancholic sense to this one. But hopefully a bit of positivity in there somewhere…

Thanks for the info. I can't handle sad right now...

[@RamonaMcKean]

@goodintentions1302 That was just my response. Other people may not find the story sad.

Well, that was depressing.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

It’s a curious one for sure…

What else would you expect from him he always writes like this and the fact that his character never anything about his behavior was discussting. I just thought I would give it a go but I'll never read anything of this again or listen to anything about his books and stories.

To think, I wondered if not Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky was not well versed in or had studied Charles Dickens; such an identification with those socially acceptable & binding business, legal agreements respected, however crass, assuming, course, or nonsensical to the heart that it may be; Dostoevsky plays the empty headed observer, as the narrator, while throughly showing the sensitive emotional side that is silenced & suffers; these two writer’s realistic stories pulse with social injustice while acknowledging such dedicated, classism still enmeshed in their times, even though progress bursts money out of pockets at every scene, there is a bit of spiritual & emotional connection to the phrase of truism that “money can not buy love”, but a well run ship requires it (but does it this new Industrial Prosperity require cruelty to the innocent). I wonder a bit from their then to our now; so many changes in the world of a Spiritual & now Independent Revolution of planets, time, that here many shifts have altered leaps & bounds of cruelty have been broken, but their still is a long way to expanding peace & freedom of pocket book to: personal, familial, communal, cultural, religious, global wherewithal’s just outcomes. Both excellent writers, whose writing immerses the currency of the now future with their distant past(s). Brilliant, thoughtful. Thank you for posting.

Hey Evelan! It seems a trait of many Russian authors of the time to offer a slightly detached narrator hinting at social commentary without going too far. Thanks for your continued listening!
