  • 05 - Diary of a Superfluous Man by Ivan Turgenev
    Jul 25 2025
    Join the journey of Turgenevs enigmatic hero, Tchulkaturin, who embodies the quintessential Russian archetype, the superfluous man. This character is no prince, but a man of comfort living a monotonous life, aimlessly led by circumstances that threaten to consume him. This novella is structured as a diary, which Tchulkaturin begins writing after a terminal illness diagnosis. His entries, spanning a mere two weeks, encapsulate the countdown to his inevitable end. In these pages, Tchulkaturin rehashes the one meaningful event of his life - a one-sided love affair leading to a non-fatal duel that leaves him devastated and acutely aware of the emptiness of his passive existence. Narrated by Martin Geeson, this story is a profound exploration of purpose, love, and the human condition.
