Anna Karenina is one of the most nuanced characters in world literature, and we return to her and the novel she propels again and again. Remarkably, there has not yet been an examination of Leo Tolstoy specifically through the lens of this novel. Critic and Professor Bob Blaisdell unravels Tolstoy’s family, literary, and day-to-day life during the period that he conceived, drafted, abandoned, and revised Anna Karenina. In the process, we see where Tolstoy’s life and his art intersect in obvious and unobvious ways.

Indeed, Nabokov was not only happiest here, but his best work flowed from his response to this exotic land.

Il giovane studioso Anton Lizavin, nel compilare una tesi sugli scrittori della sua regione, si imbatte nel nome di Simeon Milaševič, una figura marginale e dimenticata, eppure velata di fascino e mistero. Indagando negli archivi, Anton rinviene un piccolo baule pieno di carte apparentemente senza valore, ma sulle quali sono annotati appunti sparsi, riflessioni sospese e aforismi densi di complessità: sono involucri di caramelle che Milaševič ha utilizzato per riversarvi i suoi pensieri, nascondendovi una rivelazione assoluta che Anton è determinato a decifrare.

Историк и поэт — редкий союз, но в лице Пушкина он состоялся. «История Пугачёва» — не летопись бунта, а глубокий взгляд в самую суть народного волнения, в горькую правду времени, в лица, в поступки, в судьбы. Здесь нет громких речей и прикрас: язык точен, прозрачен, неутомимо жив. Автор не судит — он показывает. И делает это с тем достоинством и ясностью, которые отличают подлинную классику.

В переписке между Лизой и Сашей оживают Петербург и деревня, балы и уединение, жемчуг воспитанности и искренняя самоирония. Пушкин с блеском показывает: настоящая любовь — в нюансах, паузах, недомолвках. Здесь чувства скрыты между строк, а судьба — в молчаливом выборе, сделанном не на глазах у света, а в тишине души.
