About this listen

In Black Monk, we follow the journey of aspiring academic Andrei Kovrin, who retreats to the countryside for the summer on his physicians advice. There, he encounters a mysterious black monk—an apparition visible only to him—who fuels his intellectual ambitions and challenges his understanding of reality. The monk insists that whether a figment of Kovrins imagination or a genuine entity, he is a part of nature and thus undeniably real. Through this intriguing narrative, Chekhov delves into the gothic themes of scholarly obsession and the thin line between genius and madness. - Summary by Daniel Davison
