Everyone laughed at him—but he may have been the only one who truly understood.

In Polzunkov, Fyodor Dostoevsky tells the story of a man scorned by society, humiliated by his peers, and laughed at by all.

He laughs along with them—until a moment of moral clarity reveals the truth about who he really is.

This modern audiobook adaptation brings Dostoevsky's satirical and deeply moving tale to life with accessible language and heartfelt narration.

What You'll Hear in This Modern Translation:

  • A vivid character study of a man masking pain with humor

  • A story that examines class, cruelty, and the longing for dignity

  • An emotional arc that builds to an unexpected and powerful conclusion

    Included in This Edition:

    Faithfully adapted for modern listeners, this audiobook offers a fresh, emotionally resonant take on one of Dostoevsky's lesser-known gems.

    Listen today—and discover the quiet strength behind a face everyone thought was just a joke.
