Mumu

The MediaBook studio presents an audiobook of one of the greatest Russian writers/classics, Ivan Turgenev—“Mumu.”

The book is read by popular film actress and well-known dubbing actress Yulia Tarkhova.

“In one of the remote streets of Moscow, in a gray house with white columns, an entresol, and a crooked balcony, there lived once a lady—an elderly widow—surrounded by a large number of servants. Her sons served in Petersburg, her daughters married; she rarely went out and spent her last years alone, in her stingy and bored old age. Her day, unhappy and stormy, is long over; but her evening was even darker than the night.

Among all her servants, the most remarkable figure was the janitor Gerasim—a man of twelve vershoks in height, built like a hero, and deaf-mute from birth.”

Yulia Tarkhova’s credits include roles in iconic Russian and Soviet films: “Tomorrow Was War (1987),” “Quiet Outpost (1985),” “Zina-Zinulia (1986),” “Summoned by the Revolution,” “Red Cherry (1995),” and dubbing in dozens of films, including such bestsellers as “Spy Bridge (2015),” “Number 44 (2014),” and many others.
