About this listen

"A Faint Heart" is a testament to the author's brilliant sense of style and subtle sense of psychology. Two men have a passionate and loving relationship but are not homosexuals. The narrative is about a young clerk who can not reconcile his own personal happiness at marrying a lovely young woman while the rest of the world is not equally as happy. He winds up institutionalized and his beloved marries another, but falls to the ground weeping when meeting his dear friend two years later. A unique story, unlike any other we know of in the literary world.

story is quite good, but the reader is so monotone and sounds very uninterested and bored, it was so hard to listen to, made it hard to know if the story was even good or not, almost ruined it. not a good reader but the story is good, Dostoevsky is always good

terrible reader
