    <title>The Idiot — Fyodor Dostoevsky (Audiobook)</title>
    <generator>Transistor (https://transistor.fm)</generator>
    <itunes:new-feed-url>https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-idiot-fyodor-dostoevsky-audiobook</itunes:new-feed-url>
    <description>I’ve been spending time with The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and it’s been stirring something deeper in me. There’s a tenderness in this story, a kind of honesty about what it means to be human, that feels worth sitting with.

So I wanted to create a simple way to listen through it.

This is a straightforward version of the audiobook, shared here as a continuous experience for anyone who wants to listen through it.

If you’d like to go deeper, I’ll be sharing reflections, context, and companion pieces over on Substack.
