's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: classics, russian-literature

Tolstoy draws a portrait of three marriages or relationships that could not be more different. Anna Karenina is rightly called a masterpiece. Moreover Tolstoy does not spare on social socialism and describes the beginnings of communism, deals with such existential themes as birth and death and the meaning of life.
Tolstoy’s narrative art and his narrative charm are at the highest level. He also seems like a close observer of human passions, feelings and emotions.
All in all I was touched by his book because it was one of the most impressive books I have ever read.

Peter An Tolstois Wälzer hatte ich mich lange nicht getraut. Kürzlich motivierte mich eine Lesegruppe "Krieg und Frieden" zu lesen. Es hat mich gefangen genommen. Dein Review bestärkt mich danach auch "Anna Karenina" anzugehen.

Hi Peter, freut mich:)
Tolstoi hat meiner Meinung nach ein sagenhaftes Werk vollbracht. Seine Charakterstudien und lebendigen Beschreibungen sind meisterhaft und absolut lesenswert.
