Alyosha the Pot is a short story written by Leo Tolstoy (1905) about the life and death of a simple, uncomplaining worker.

It was published after Tolstoy's death in 1911 and received high praise from Tolstoy's contemporaries.

Without ever calling Alyosha a holy fool, Tolstoy centers the story on his meekness, aloofness, and foolishness. Alyosha's simple life, soft-spoken manner, and calm acceptance of death epitomizes Tolstoyan principles.

Narrator was excellent. This story seems simple, but has many deep philosophical messages and questions: humility, a dutiful devotion to one’s lot in life, free will, suffering, love, etc. This short story will entice the listener to ponder: What is a fulfilled life?

Excellent narration
