”Yet that grief and this joy were alike beyond the ordinary conditions of life; they were openings, as it were, in that ordinary life through which there came glimpses of something sublime. And in the contemplation of this sublime something the soul was exalted to inconceivable heights of which it had before had no conception while reason lagged behind, unable to keep up with it.”
Don’t get me wrong - this was a great read and some sections were utterly brilliant. I get why people call this the greatest novel, but also oh my god some chunks of this book were an absolute slog to get through. Did not really care much for the last 30 pages unfortunately and only pushed through because I was going to die before DNFing a book after reading 860 pages.
Shame that Tolstoy couldn’t write 860 pages about Varenka because she was easily the best character lol

I am obsessed, to say the least. How terribly tragic yet beautiful read.
I LOVED Anna Karenina, which was a little surprising because I did not enjoy War and Peace.

Es difícil darle una calificación a un clásico, si bien es tedioso en algunos capítulos, es también una exposición de sentimientos y situaciones históricas que son expuestas y te invitan a investigar más acerca de ellas. Tolstoi, en la última parte hace una reflexión hermosa sobre quien era en esos momentos, poniéndose en la figura de Levin.
Todo el pánico que siente Anna de vivir, la pasión con la que siente es algo hermoso de ser plasmado tanto en los pasajes felices, como en los tristes.
Un libro que te tendrá revisitándolo en la mente por mucho tiempo.
