Anna Karenina / Leo Tolstoy
Titre : Anna Karenina Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo Tolstoy, Auteur Editeur : London [United Kingdom] : Penguin Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Classics Importance : 837 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-045535-9 Prix : £8.99 Note générale : While previous versions have softened the robust, and sometimes shocking, quality of Tolstoy's writing, Pevear and Volokhonsky have produced a translation true to his powerful voice. This award-winning team's authoritative edition also includes an illuminating introduction and explanatory notes. Beautiful, vigorous, and eminently readable, this Anna Karenina will be the definitive text for generations to come. Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Russe Résumé : Anna Karenina tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel's seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness.

Titre : The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories : "The Raid", "Woodfelling", "Three Deaths", "Polikushka", "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", "After the Ball", "The Forged Coupon" Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo Tolstoy, Auteur Editeur : London [United Kingdom] : Penguin Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 317p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-044961-7 Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Russe Note de contenu : These seven compelling stories explore, in very different ways, Tolstoy's preoccupation with mortality.
'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' is a devastating account of a man fighting his inevitable end, and asks the existential question: why must a good person be taken before his time?
In 'Polikushka', a light-fingered drunk's chance to prove himself has tragic repercussions, while 'Three Deaths' depicts the last moments of an aristocrat, a peasant and a tree, and 'The Forged Coupon' shows a seemingly minor offence that leads inexorably to ever more horrific crimes.
And in three tales about soldiers, 'After the Ball', 'The Wood-felling' and 'The Raid', Tolstoy portrays the brutality that all too often accompanies military life.The translations by Anthony Briggs, David McDuff and Ronald Wilks capture Tolstoy's powerful, vivid prose. This edition also includes a new introduction by Anthony Briggs discussing Tolstoy's breakdown and the effect this had on his writing, as well as a chronology, further reading and notes.Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was born at Yasnaya Polyana, in central Russia. He led a life of wasteful idleness until 1851, when he travelled to the Caucasus and joined the army with his older brother, fighting in the Crimean war. After marrying Sofya Behrs in 1862, Tolstoy settled down, managing his estates and writing two of his best-known novels, War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1878).
In 1884 Tolstoy experienced a spiritual crisis, becoming an extreme moralist, rejecting the state, the church and private property. His last novel, Resurrection (1900), was written to raise money for the Doukhobor sect of Christian spiritualists.Nature du document : Nouvelle Genre : Drame, Tragédie/Fait de société/Philosophique/Psychologique Réservation

Titre : War and peace Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo Tolstoy, Auteur ; Pat Conroy, Préfacier, etc. ; John Hockenberry Editeur : New York [USA] : Signet Classics Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 1421 p. Format : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-451-53211-4 Langues : Anglais Langues originales : Russe Résumé : Tolstoy's epic masterpiece intertwines the lives of private and public individuals during the time of the Napoleonic wars and the French invasion of Russia. The fortunes of the Rostovs and the Bolkonskys, of Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, are intimately connected with the national history that is played out in parallel with their lives. Balls and soirees alternate with councils of war and the machinations of statesmen and generals, scenes of violent battles with everyday human passions in a work whose extraordinary imaginative power has never been surpassed.
The prodigious cast of characters, seem to act and move as if connected by threads of destiny as the novel relentlessly questions ideas of free will, fate, and providence. Yet Tolstoy's portrayal of marital relations and scenes of domesticity is as truthful and poignant as the grand themes that underlie them.
