A slow classic that gives great insight into Russian history, human emotion and tragedy. I must say it is hard work and long, so I read most of it and then watched the movie. It also didn't help that I knew the whole story, so there wasn't really incentive to finish it properly. I did enjoy it thoug...
Jedva čekam da ponovo pročitam ,,Anu Karenjinu" kako bih, nadam se, promenila mišljenje o njoj koje imam godinama. Jedno mišljenje sigurno neću promeniti, a to je da ovoj knjizi nije mesto u školskom programu, ne zato što dajem sebi za pravo da je nazovem nekvalitetnom, jer to nije slučaj, već zato ...
The most strange thing happened to me is that, however the writing or narrative tone draw me into the book, when I read to the point that I realized that this book's main theme is about an affair, I'll turn it off. This is not the first (whatever) fiction I stop reading because of this, there is an ...
Finally Done!! It's taken me a long time to read this, but I've tremendously enjoyed it!! Anna Karenina might be named after Anna, but it's not just her story. It's about this plethora of unforgettable characters, sketched with excruciating detail, and their ceaseless quest for happiness. People mig...
This book is exceedingly frustrating to read. It is well-written, certainly, and I found the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation to be quite readable. The content itself, however, is filled with unlikeable, entitled characters who display few positive character traits. They are idle aristocrats whose liv...
Not gonna lie, it was difficult to get through many of the philosophy heavy-parts -- of which there were many. If what makes a book a classic though is how it stays with you long after you've read it, then this is definitely worthy of the name. The one problem is that the mood of most of this book w...
This could be seen as my first foray into classic Russian literature and all in all, I would say it's not a bad introduction. The book is wordy but not callenging. In fact I found the style surprisingly simple. I'm not sure if this was due to the translation I read, or Tolstoy just isn't as daunt...
This book was definitely not written for me. I'm glad I can say I finally read it, well listened to the audiobook, but that's about all I can be thankful for. The narrator had a pleasing voice and did a good job on the reading. I just didn't like the book. It was very boring in my opinion and just d...
Crime and Punishment, which echoes the stately marriage of two conceptual abstractions of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, War and Peace, et cetera, is a novel which defies plot summation because it's plot is almost universally known. Man kills pawnbroker, man gets sick, man gets sick aga...
