About this audiobook
"The Peasant Marey" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a reflective and introspective short story that delves into the protagonist's memories of a chance encounter with a peasant named Marey during his childhood. Set against the backdrop of the author's time in prison, the story explores themes of human connection, kindness, and the complexities of perception. The protagonist recalls a specific incident from his early childhood when he encountered Marey while fleeing from an imagined wolf. Despite being a stranger, Marey reassures and comforts the young protagonist, offering him a sense of safety and compassion. The memory resurfaces years later, while the protagonist is imprisoned, prompting him to reflect on the true nature of humanity and the power of simple acts of kindness. Read in English, unabridged.
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.
