Anna Karenine by Tolstoï

Dear readers, Hope you're fine and having a nice summmer! :) Sorry for not writing so much but lately inspirations hasn't struck me much and as the summer will pass, I won't be writing much. Otherwise, I wanted to share with you a book I've been reading for the past month. yes, (rire), I know but it took me some time to read it and the book was quite long. It was divided in 8 parts and more than 900 pages! :) But I proud of me, as many times I wasn't so sure I would read it entirely. Although despite a few sentences (book translate from Russian to French and many languages after that) not always understandable and some passage can be a bit boring (sorry), sometimes it's quite complexe... I would like to add that the names of the characters can be sometimes different but apperently it the same and only person. (I suppose it can be nicknames...) Anyway it was a challenge but in the end one your mind is set on the it and that your understand better what happened, you can't stop and you want to know what happened! :) Well, I talked about the book in general but I should maybe tell you about the plot..., don't you think? :) So, the story is mainly taking place in Russia, during 3 years. Many events will happened but mostly we follow the story of Anna Karenine, married woman (don't ask me to tell you name of her husband, it's hard to remember) and mother of a young boy. Anna has a love story with Vronskï. She fell heplessy in love with him and leaves her husband and child for him. Doing that Anna will upset the Russian society,revealing its hypocrisy by just doing what she believes in and simply following her heart. She has been married young and soon had her son. Her husband is a strict and severe man with many principles. We can understand why she does that. Anna and Vronskï will live together in Italy for a while before returning to Russia. Throughout their story we also follow the story of her husband, her son, her brother and wife's story, and Kitty and Levine's (Leon en Russe)story. And many others that meet all the characters I've listed. (Hope I'm clear enough...) It's a beautiful story and I've enjoying reading it. It makes you react and think at the same time, trying to make you understand the characters better and also trying to see how life was at that period. It's worth reading it, no matter how long it takes you to read it (rire)! :) I just prefer happy endings...but will not say more (though you might already know what happens...?) I knew it before reading it..so I don't really know..:) but I migth add that some characters have a nice ending. I also heard that another adaptations will come out in the cinema soon, hope it will be good and faihful enough to the book...let's see! :) On that, I will now leave you but hope to write another article soon enough! :) Take care and see you soon I hope! :) Have a nice summer! :) xxxx
