Heartbreaking.

We hear the tale and thoughts of an incredibly lonely man. The inner cogwheels running, as he takes in and digests the world he lives in, and the place he does not have in it.
We sees his mood, and days get twisted in joy and pain, and in the end the sad foreseeable culmination of it all.
Anyone who has been - or felt; alone, lonely or even isolated, can taste the bitter life of an outside looker watching the world move. It was short, and beautifully heart breaking. Dostoevsky always manages to caress the heart of his readers is such a uneasy way.

Short but powerful

Heartbreak and tenderness. A quick listen and worth it. Narration was great. I’m sure everyone will be able to relate to this story.

Quick, tender, sad.

A story of longing that feels oddly modern despite its age. Really quite a lovely listen for its length!
