Recordings of Russian literature for the blind

[Ernest Sjogren]

Edwina,

You might look here: <http://www.rfbd.org/> .  I see some Dostoevsky in their catalog, although in English.  Many years ago this organization would take requests, several months in advance, and could find college professors or other suitable readers for materials in foreign languages.  They still may do this.

Also, there are 2 Dostoevsky texts (WHITE NIGHTS, and NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND), read by amateurs, available for free download on this weebsite: http://librivox.org/newcatalog/visitor_advanced.php.

Although she has not recently dealt with a need for materials in foreign languages, my wife is famaliar with obtaining recordings in the U.S. for the blind, as she is a teacher of the visually impaired in the public schools, and she may have some leads for you, depending upon the situation.  Please feel free to contact me offline with questions esjogren at nc.rr.com.

Best of luck in your search,
Ernie Sjogren
