  - Portraits of Guilt and Jealousy – Voices that reveal trembling pride and desperate vulnerability. 
  - A Modern Performance – Clear, dynamic narration that brings nineteenth-century St. Petersburg to life. 
  - A Story That Haunts Long After the Final Sentence – Perfect for listeners who crave moral complexity in under three hours. 
  Total listening time: approximately 2 hours 30 minutes—ideal for a single suspense-filled evening.
