About this listen

Alyosha the Pot is a short story written by Leo Tolstoy (1905) about the life and death of a simple, uncomplaining worker.

It was published after Tolstoy's death in 1911 and received high praise from Tolstoy's contemporaries.

Without ever calling Alyosha a holy fool, Tolstoy centers the story on his meekness, aloofness, and foolishness. Alyosha's simple life, soft-spoken manner, and calm acceptance of death epitomizes Tolstoyan principles.

PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Narrator was excellent. This story seems simple, but has many deep philosophical messages and questions: humility, a dutiful devotion to one’s lot in life, free will, suffering, love, etc. This short story will entice the listener to ponder: What is a fulfilled life?

Excellent narration
