Mher Shahnazaryan’s novella Callisto is a deeply moving and philosophical story about human greed, moral responsibility, and the relationship between humans and animals. Medical genius Eden Richter grants intelligence to a bear, but his scientific miracle soon turns into a conflict between conscience and self-interest. Through thought-provoking moral dilemmas, dramatic developments, and an unexpected ending, the novella encourages readers to reflect on whether humanity is truly prepared to take responsibility for the wonders it creates and for its own actions. We would like to express our gratitude to writer Mher Shahnazaryan for allowing his stories to be recorded and for permitting the audio versions to be made available free of charge on our website.
