Since this is only the first half of this extensive book I'll keep this review short. I am enjoying it and I think the narrator is doing a superb job. I can't understand quite why Anna is so attracted to Vronsky who seems to be rather a cad. On the other hand, Anna's husband is a pretty cold fish and thinks much more of his work than of his wife. I really like Levin and I am hoping that his romance with Kitty will have a happy conclusion.
This is the first part, and although wonderfully written to reflect both the heroine's personal drama and the portrait of nineteenth century Russian upper classes everyday lives it doesn't reach the depths of psychological plot seen in War and Peace. Will be looking forward for the second part.
Bedensel rahatsızlıklar, aile içi skandallar, ideolojik, politik buhranlar. Tanrı inancına duyulan kuşkular biçiminde görünürleşen sayısız fiziksel ve ruhsal krizden ve Ortodoks Kilisesi'nden çıkartılışından bir yıl sonra (1902), yaşlı Tolstoy, Anna Karenina'yı yazdığı orta yaş yıllarını hüzün ve iç sızısıyla hatırlar. Sanatının doruğundaki en iyi yıllarının ürünü olan bu roman, yazara göre temel bir "fikri" soyut formülasyonlara başvurmadan açıklayan sanatta "biçimi" bağımsızlaştırmayıp içerik ile, fikir ile bütünleştiren bir yapıyı temsil eder. İçerik ile, sanatsal biçimin bu uyumunun sentezinde yazarın sözünü ettiği o dışavuran fikir ya da düşünce nedir? show more Yaşlı bir erkekle evlendirilmiş genç kadın (Anna Karenina) genç subay Vronski ile içine sürüklendiği ilişkiyi niçin evlilikle sonuçlandıramaz? Sosyetedeki statüsünü gözden çıkartamadığı için mi? Yoksa, Tolstoy'unu aristokrasi temelinde kurulu ideal "aile mitosunda", bireyin bütünlüğünü koruyan o büyük "organizasyonda", kadının doğal, cinsel dürtülerini yıkıcı bir tehdit gibi gören ve ona evhanımı-anne rolünün ötesinde bir sosyal varoluş alanı tanımayan muhafazakar anlayışla mı karşı karşıyayız?

Le sentiment de sa nudité morale écrasait Anna et se communiquait à Vronski. Mais quelle que soit l'horreur du meurtrier devant sa victime, il ne lui faut pas moins cacher le cadavre, le couper en morceaux, profiter du crime commis. Alors, avec une rage frénétique, il se jette sur ce cadavre et l'entraîne pour le mettre en pièces. C'est ainsi que. Vronski couvrait de baisers le visage et les épaules d'Anna... —Tout est fini, dit-elle. Il ne me reste plus que toi, ne l'oublie pas. —Comment oublierais-je ce qui fait ma vie ! Pour un instant de ce bonheur... —Quel bonheur ? s'écria-t-elle avec un sentiment de dégoût et de terreur si profond qu'il le- partagea aussitôt. Je t'en supplie, pas un mot, pas une mot de plus...

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 in Russia. He is usually referred to as Leo Tolstoy. He was a Russian author who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Leo Tolstoy is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several show more novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. Tolstoy had a profound moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870's which he outlined in his work, A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. His ideas of nonviolent resistance which he shared in his works The Kingdom of God is Within You, had a profund impact on figures such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. On September 23, 1862 Tolstoy married Sophia Andreevna Behrs. She was the daughter of a court physician. They had 13 children, eight of whom survived childhood. Their early married life allowed Tolstoy much freedom to compose War and Peace and Anna Karenina with his wife acting as his secretary and proofreader. The Tolstoy family left Russia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet Union. Leo Tolstoy's relatives and descendants moved to Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo train station, after a day's rail journey south on November 20, 1910 at the age of 82. (Bowker Author Biography) Count Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 on the family estate of Yasnaya Polyana in the Tula province. He married in 1862 & was the father of 13 children. Tolstoy managed the estate of Yasnaya Polyana & ran its peasant schools, while writing his great novels, "War & Peace" (1869) & "Anna Karenina" (1877). He died in 1910. (Publisher Provided) show less
