Read by Martin Muncaster
The reminiscences of Dostoevsky's widow, ANNA DOSTOEVSKAYA ,arranged for radio by JOAN HART.
In 1866 Anna Snitkina became Dostoevsky's stenographer. She was 20; shy, intelligent, warm-hearted. He was 45, a widower heavily in debt, a compulsive gambler, an epileptic tormented by indecision and unhappiness. A year later they married.
' My dear husband and I were persons of quite different bent, completely dissimilar views. but we always remained ourselves, in no way echoing nor currying favour with each other. These mutual attitudes enabled both of us to live all the 14 years of our married life in the greatest happiness possible for human beings on earth.'
Narrator Timothy Bateson
