Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anna Karénina To preserve, so far as possible, the spirit and style of the original, has been the translator´s aim in presenting, for the first time to English readers, Count Tolstoï´s great novel, "Anna Karenina." After the present translation was begun, an anonymous French paraphrase appeared. In order to hasten the preparation of this volume for the press, that version has been used in a few passages, but always with the Russian original at hand. It is a novel which, in spite of some faults of repetition, easily stands in the front rank of the great romances of the world. Its moral lesson is wonderful, - perhaps equalled only by that of George Eliot´s "Romola." The sympathy of the reader will doubtless be moved by the passion of the ill-fated Anna. Married without love to a man old enough to be her father, falling under the fascination of one whom, under happier auspices, she might have wedded with happiness and honor, she takes the law into her own hands. As a recent French critic says, the loves of Vronsky and Anna are almost chaste. But lovely though she be, intellectual and brilliant, the highest type of a woman of the best society, she finds that she cannot defy the law. The mills of the gods grind slowly, but the end is inevitable. Polevoï, in his illustrated "History of Russian Literature," says of this story: "Count Tolstoï dwells with especial fondness on the sharp contrast between the frivolity, the tinsel brightness, the tumult and vanity, of the worldly life, and the sweet, holy calm enjoyed by those who, possessing the soil, live amid the beauties of Nature and the pleasures of the family." This contrast will strike the attention of every reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
