About this listen

Random House presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of The Tsar of Love and Techno by Anthony Marra, read by Mark Bramhall, Beata Pozniak and Rustam Kasymov.

The Tsar of Love and Techno begins in 1930s Leningrad, where a failed portrait artist employed by Soviet censors must erase political dissenters from official images and artworks. One day he receives an antique painting of a dacha inside a box of images due to be altered. The mystery behind this painting threads together the stories that follow, which take us through a century and introduce a cast of characters including a Siberian beauty queen, a young soldier in the battlefields of Chechnya, the head of the Grozny Tourist Bureau, a ballerina performing for the camp director of a gulag and many others.

EXCELLENT story

Really imaginative and, for me, educational. Clever, witty - even laugh out loud funny at times, despite the intense content. I loved this story. I also koved the first narrator Mark Bramhall, the whole story came alive in his hands The biggest weak point was the third narrator Rustam Kasymov who sounded like a robot. I kept disengaging and having to rewind to listen again; or fighting the urge to fast forward; very frustrating, I can't understand how he was kept... I should have bought the book to read his parts instead, and may still do because the story really is great. (the second narrator Beata Pozniak is fine - not great but not bad)
