The Created Legend (Unabridged)

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Fyodor Sologub's 'The Created Legend' isn't a straightforward narrative but rather a symbolic exploration of life's fundamental themes. The story unfolds in a dreamlike atmosphere, stripped of everyday details and focused on a few potent symbols. It follows the journey of the nameless protagonist through encounters with allegorical figures like the Pale Queen and the Black One, representing opposing forces within the human experience.

Sologub's intention, as the original title 'Tvorimaya Legenda' suggests, is to portray 'the legend in the course of creation,' reflecting the ongoing process of life where order emerges from seeming chaos. He aims to strip away the complexities of modern life to reveal timeless truths and passions, inviting readers to participate in shaping their own understanding of the story. While lacking a clear plot, the book invites contemplation and personal interpretation.
