Nikolai Semenovich Leskov's story "Deception" is a subtle and profound work that reveals the essence of the human soul, questions of trust, morality and sincerity. Written with the author's inherent skill, it takes the reader to the world of the Russian province of the 19th century, where complex relationships and spiritual conflicts are often hidden behind external simplicity. Leskov does not simply tell a story, but invites us to think about how weaknesses and desires can affect us and those around us, and how important it is to maintain internal honesty. For an Orthodox reader, this work will become a reason to reflect on spiritual and moral principles, reminding us of the importance of sincerity and forgiveness in our lives. Read by: Dmitry Gor
