- Aimez ceux qui vous haïssent... murmura Dolly.Karénine eut un sourire de mépris: ces mots qu'il ne connaissait que trop bien, ne pouvaient s'appliquer à sa situation.- On peut aimer ceux qui vous haïssent, mais non point ceux que vous haïssez.

A wonderful classic. The character study is fascinating. Tolstoy shows us their thoughts in real time as they interact with each other, so we are able to experience their emotions and truly understand the motivations that drive their behaviors. It is a very long book and also full of discussion abou...
