Fiction

Behind the tinsel and music... something sinister is unfolding.

In A Christmas Tree and A Wedding, Fyodor Dostoevsky blends holiday charm with psychological tension, revealing the disturbing realities hidden behind social events.

Through the keen eyes of a party guest, we witness ambition, greed, and an inappropriate obsession—all disguised as polite society.

This modern audiobook adaptation brings Dostoevsky’s unsettling short story to life with crisp narration and updated language, while preserving the emotional weight and social criticism that define the original.

What You’ll Hear in This Modern Translation:

• A deceptively simple tale with dark psychological layers

• Sharp observations on class, wealth, and twisted intentions

• A chilling reflection on how easily society overlooks moral decay

Included in This Edition:

Modernized for clarity but faithful to its core message, this audiobook is perfect for fans of dark, thought-provoking fiction and classic literature with contemporary relevance.

Listen now—and see what’s hidden behind the party lights.
