Member recommendations:roby72 recommends The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton roby72 recommends Emma by Jane Austen roby72 recommends Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert pingdjip recommends The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber, "Like Tolstoy, Faber goes under his characters' skin, ponders their social manoeuvering, and follows the pitfalls and triumphs of their lives. Difference: (see more) Faber is funny and sometimes provocative and teasing in a - er - "postmodern" way." ( see more recommendations and anti-recommendations for this book )
Amazon.com (ISBN 0143035002, Paperback)Some people say Anna Karenina is the single greatest novel ever written, which makes about as much sense to me as trying to determine the world's greatest color. But there is no doubt that Anna Karenina, generally considered Tolstoy's best book, is definitely one ripping great read. Anna, miserable in her loveless marriage, does the barely thinkable and succumbs to her desires for the dashing Vronsky. I don't want to give away the ending, but I will say that 19th-century Russia doesn't take well to that sort of thing.(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:46:33 -0400) |
