About this audiobook

How much pressure can one heart endure before it breaks?

In A Faint Heart, Fyodor Dostoevsky tells the tragic story of Vasya, a kind and deeply emotional man on the verge of a new life with the woman he loves. But what seems like a joyful beginning quickly turns dark, as anxiety, self-doubt, and mental strain push him to the edge.

This modern audiobook adaptation gives fresh clarity to Dostoevsky’s heartbreaking tale, revealing the emotional intensity and psychological insight that made the author a master of the human condition.

What You’ll Hear in This Modern Translation:

• A tender yet tragic story of love and emotional fragility

• An unflinching portrait of mental health struggles in a judgmental society

• A moving narrative of friendship, heartbreak, and helplessness

Included in This Edition:

Faithfully modernized for accessibility and emotional impact, this audiobook is a powerful experience that lingers long after it ends.

Listen today—and witness the quiet tragedy of a heart too gentle for the world.
