About this listen

Konstantin Paustovsky was a Russian writer nominated for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1965, 1966,1967,1968.

Paustovsky began writing while still in Gymnasium. His first works were imitative poetry but he restricted his writing to prose after Ivan Bunin wrote in a letter to him: "I think that your sphere, your real poetry, is prose. It is here, if you are determined enough, that I am sure you can achieve something significant."

Paustovsky's prose, steeped in nostalgia and quiet sorrow, reaches its finest expression in The Telegram—a story of distance, both physical and emotional, and the irreversible weight of unsaid words.

The Telegram is not merely a story; it is a whisper across time, a plea too late, a love unspoken until the silence swallows it whole. In Paustovsky's world, distance is more than geography—it is the fragile thread between duty and regret, between those who leave and those who wait. The past lingers in unmailed letters, in the hush of an empty house, in the shadow of a mother's gaze.

His words do not shout—they murmur, they breathe, they break the heart with a tenderness that lingers long after the final sentence.
