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.
