He is commonly regarded as one of the finest novelists who ever lived, penning classics that include: Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov.

Absolute Perfection!

This is the best audiobook I've ever purchased on Audible.

Every track is accurately listed when you download (some earlier reviews seem to have had issues with this, but it must have been resolved since then) so you can easily find which title is which, and even split into 'novels', 'short stories', etc., so you can jump around easily.

The collection spans all of Dostoyevsky's most important works - and some that I hadn't come across before but were hugely interesting, such as 'Winter Impressions...' - and is impeccably produced. The audio quality is perfect and the narrators throughout give some of the best readings of Dostoyevsky that I've ever heard - particularly David Rintoul reading Karamazov and Crime and Punishment. He's an absolute revelation.

If you only buy one thing on Audible, make it this collection! I can't recommend it highly enough.

Great performances so far

I am really enjoying this collection and the performances. I just wish the chapters were titled - navigation is a bit hard without that.

Realistic scenarios, deep, intense, mentally challenging

This is pretty much the best you can get. Crime and punishment alone is top, then there are many many other amazing books. The idiot, brothers karamazov and uncles dream just to name a few… go ahead and get in there.

Essential

All of Dostoevsky and very well narrated. Not particularly difficult to navigate. I Highly recommend.

A Crucial Human Journey

Notes from the Underground, Crime and Punishment, and The Brothers Karamazov are three books everyone needs to read, or hear. The first two are, as the saying goes, unputdownable. Notes will make you cringe at the Underground Man's egotism and contradictory nature, which lead to the greatest depictions of sheer embarrassment, weird and funny and sad, that a pen ever put to paper. The recognition-craving U.M.'s relegation to Audience of One is his loss and our gain. The essential portrayal of neurosis and the universal aloneness of being. Crime and Punishment is a hallucinatory haunted house in which a poverty-stricken young intellectual discovers, after committing murder, that thought and feeling are two very different things. Not even Edgar Allan Poe explored the human conscience so masterfully. The book will make you a nervous wreck as its antihero becomes justifiably paranoid and is pursued by his own feelings of guilt every way he turns. Then a surreal Columbo enters the picture. These masterpieces are beautifully performed along with the rest of Dostoyevsky's immortal oeuvre in this colossal audiobook that will seem to have a beating heart and a conflicted brain to anyone who gets it. The crown jewel of anyone's library. Go on this human adventure. (One problem - needs chapter titles!)

One of the best things Audible has done

I came in skeptical, after experiencing some too good to be true collections that fell far short of the mark. This huge collection contains every work I know of by the author and even some very rare works. The narrations are consistent and professional especially considering the large number of Russian proper nouns. There is almost no missing content in the books like most large collections. The author is truly one of the greats and has a style that is engaging to modern readers. I found more than a few Stephen King influences throughout the collection.
