Before we understand love, we feel it.

In A Little Hero, Fyodor Dostoevsky invites us into the heart and mind of a child experiencing the dizzying emotions of a first infatuation.

At a glittering adult party, a shy boy quietly observes the world around him—until a graceful, kind woman captures his full attention. What follows is a swirl of emotion, self-consciousness, and innocent joy.

This modern audiobook adaptation refreshes Dostoevsky's tender story for today's listener while preserving its delicate emotional landscape.

What You'll Hear in This Modern Translation:
