About this listen

 In this quiet library, the voices of old tales are awakened once more. Here are gathered verse and story, passion and caprice, sorrow, wit, and that fleeting music of the human heart which neither time nor dust can wholly silence. The Pushkin Library offers these works entire, unabridged, and alive again for the listening ear.Public domain

    The Daughter of the Commandant Chapter 1 - Sergeant of the Guards
    Apr 25 2026
    In which a young gentleman of noble birth bids farewell to the comforts of home and the frivolities of childhood education to begin his military service, encountering both the stern discipline of his father and the misguided indulgences of new acquaintances. The narrative gently chronicles his first foray into the wider world, imbued with youthful missteps and the tender yet firm boundaries of loyalty and honour.
