About this listen
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov is considered a very "real life" writer, his feet solidly on the ground at all times. The Black Monk is his foray into madness and mysticism to rival the likes of Dostoyevsky, Saltykov-Shchedrin, and Kuprin.

It is a great and sad story of missed genius and meaning. A philosopher, who has great promise and is good at his job has a vision, enhancing his ideas of grandeur, but he's forced to accept reality later in life, bringing a very Checkovian ending to the story.
I somewhat disliked the narration. The narrator has a quite "unique" performance, more than a bit overdramatic, which works very well for some of the stories in the series, but not this one I'm afraid, at least not to me. It wasn't bad enough to have negatively impacted the story a lot, but still I would have preferred a more suitable narration style for the story.
Great story buy a great writer
