Crafting and recrafting each sentence, he was anything but casual in his use of language. His project, translator Marian Schwartz observes, \"was to bend language to his will, as an instrument of his aesthetic and moral convictions.\" In her magnificent new translation, Schwartz embraces Tolstoy's unusual style--she is the first English language translator ever to do so. Previous translations have departed from Tolstoy's original, \"correcting\" supposed mistakes and infelicities. But Schwartz uses repetition where Tolstoy does, wields a judicious cliché when he does, and strips down descriptive passages as he does, re-creating his style in English with imagination and skill. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tolstoy's romantic Anna, long-suffering Karenin, dashing Vronsky, and dozens of their family members, friends, and neighbors are among the most vivid characters in world literature. In the thought-provoking Introduction to this volume, Gary Saul Morson provides unusual insights into these characters, exploring what they reveal about Tolstoy's radical conclusions on romantic love, intellectual dishonesty, the nature of happiness, the course of true evil, and more. For readers at every stage--from students first encountering Anna to literary professionals revisiting the novel--this volume will stand as the English reader's clear first choice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeo Tolstoy\u003c\/b\u003e (1828-1910) is regarded as one of the world's greatest novelists. \u003cb\u003eMarian Schwartz\u003c\/b\u003e has translated more than sixty volumes of Russian fiction, history, biography, criticism, and fine art. \u003cb\u003eGary Saul Morson\u003c\/b\u003e is professor, Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, Northwestern University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 792\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 9 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anna Karenina\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.6\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 69\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47227324334329,"sku":"9780300216820","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Zi9sTTJscktrZk5qZFJ6RzRZY29xZz09.webp?v=1768279466","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/anna-karenina-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
