“She felt as though her nerves were strings being strained tighter and tighter on some sort of screwing peg. She felt her eyes opening wider and wider, her fingers and toes twitching nervously, something within oppressing her breathing, while all shapes and sounds seemed in the uncertain half-light to strike her with unaccustomed vividness. Moments of doubt were continually coming upon her, when she was uncertain whether the train were going forwards or backwards, or were standing still altogether; whether it were Annushka at her side or a stranger. ‘What’s that on the arm of the chair, a fur cloak or some beast? And what am I myself? Myself or some other woman?’ She was afraid of giving way to this delirium. But something drew her towards it, and she could yield to it or resist it at will.” When asked for his three favorite books, Faulkner replied: "Anna Karenina, Anna Karenina, Anna Karenina," and polls of other well-known writers consistently rate it the greatest novel ever written. The genesis of the novel was in an encounter with Maria Hartung, Pushkin's daughter (giving Anna an interesting eighth-Ethiopian heritage - perhaps this was part of her mysterious appeal). Tolstoy began reading Pushkin, and had a fleeting daydream of a "bare exquisite aristocratic elbow." From that fragment, Anna emerged. Perhaps with the cumbersome initial chapter of War and Peace in mind, Tolstoy told his wife that novels should plunge immediately into the action, and that night wrote the wonderful first sentences of what would become Anna Karenina. The title is deceptive. Tolstoy's original title, Two Families, is more reflective of the structure of the novel, which presents Levin and his courtship and marriage to Kitty in counterpoint to Anna's infidelity with Vronsky. Indeed, it could be argued that Levin is the central character of the novel. The model for Kitty was Sofie Behrs, Tolstoy’s wife (Tatiana, the youngest Behrs sister, was the model for Natasha in War and Peace). Nabokov, who also acclaimed it the finest novel ever written (switching allegiance from Madame Bovary; a shift hinted at in the opening and closing sentences of Ada), with a typical Nabokovian concern with patterning, noted the theme of trains. When Anna first encounters Vronsky, a man has been killed on the tracks, a tragedy Vronsky uses to his own ends. When Anna first sees her niece and nephew, they are playing with a toy train set, suggesting the playful, seemingly innocuous nature of the intial gestures that will lead to infidelity. Later, in one of the most delicately developed scenes (see the passage quoted above), Anna is in a train carriage returning to Moscow, reveling in her emotions, but trying to convince herself that nothing has happened between her and Vronsky; then, stepping onto the freezing platform at a station, she meets him, and he makes his feelings clear. Anna's nightmare of the peasant is on the train tracks, and, of course, she finally commits suicide by throwing herself under a train. The quoted passage also shows Tolstoy's use of interior language in order to show a character's thoughts. This interiority was to become, with modifications, the stream-of-consciousness of the early 20th-century modernists. There are two minor love stories. The book opens with the infidelity of Oblonsky (Anna's brother) and his wife Dolly's reaction when she finds out. The casual revelation, halfway through the book, that Oblonsky is involved in another affair with a dancer, is both shocking and utterly true to his character. The unfulfilled attraction between Levin's older brother Koznyshev and Varenka forms another minor thread. In the heartbreaking "mushroom scene," Koznyshev and Varenka go gathering mushrooms, and everyone, including themselves, expects a marriage proposal to occur. But the moment passes and they return with baskets of mushrooms but no confession of their feelings. The book is exquisitely proportioned. When Kitty, infatuated with Vronsky, initially rebuffs Levin, he returns to his country estate and throws himself into his farmwork, going out and scything all day long with the peasants. He is, of course, trying to submerge his emotions in physical labor. As we enter into his work, we too begin to forget about Kitty, and this makes the eventual confession of love all the more poignant. All the main characters meet and react in their individual ways to Levin and Anna, but the encounter between the two main characters is left to the end. Tragic and beautiful, philosophical and descriptive, the novel also contains moments of superb comedy. In particular, Levin's hapless attempts to put the ring on Kitty's finger during the marriage ceremony, and his frustration with the doctor while Kitty is in labor are wonderfully understated. Anna Karenina, more than any other novel, has the quality of changing as one rereads it. Of course it is not the novel that changes; one's experiences are reflected in the pages, and moments that seem insignificant at first reading take on weight upon rereading.

Seriously, I love this book, and have been somewhat obsessed in the past with its A&E mini-series. I have read this several times, and this book lives in the diaper bag that I drag everywhere with me, just in case I have a few minutes where I could relax and read somewhere!

Picoult's books are fascinating because the themes seem to be stories that come from the headlines. I have enjoyed many of her novels. This is the one that got me started reading her. I sort of have a fascination with the Amish people - I lived in PA for several years. Boy, does this book give you a different perspective on the Amish!

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Dr Gareth Moore

interesting to read this book and history of love (his wife's book). the parallels are mysterious. i loved this book more the first time but history of love has stuck with me longer. if you read the first few pages of this book and can't stand the kids voice, just stop reading. but if, like me, you find him totally adorable and compelling, you won't be able to put this book down. i cried for over an hour at the end.

This book was written with a very unique style that I still haven't seen anywhere else. Some parts were hard to get through because there was too much detail and some of it was just unnecessary. But in general, this was a very good read.

I liked the story, thought the characters were well developed, but the ending was disappointing. I seems as though it is a set up for a sequel, but I haven't been able to determine if there was one.

I listened to this on talking book, it was a good choice as it wasn't too demanding so didn't need my close attention. An enjoyable read about a journalist who finds herself living in the 1950s. Lots of interesting social history, we forget how much easier our life is now with washing up liquid, hot water, eelctricity and birth control. Rosie misses so much about life in the rpesent day, and finds herself amazed at the attitudes towards women that existed. It's quite a romance, which to be honest I found tiresome.

Though aimed at elementary school children, this overview of the Muslim religion proved to be a pretty good primer for me as well. I wasn't familiar with most of the holidays or the sheer diversity of practices in the global Muslim community. It's always fascinating to see the vast differences in interpretation of the same book. Definitely recommended for explaining the basics of Islam to a small child (or an uninformed adult, like myself).

Động Từ Tiếng Pháp Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Nhân Văn

This was often confusing with no plot at all, but I suspect there wasn't meant to be. I absolutely hated that not only one character cheated but so did the other "MC". It might even bee that the other one cheated on not only his wife (the sister of the MC's lover) but also seemingly on his own boyfriend. The worst part being that they didn't end up together but planned to continue the liaisons. 1.5 stars rounded up because I save 1 star ratings for truly horrible books.
