Though hundreds of thousands had done their very best to disfigure the small piece of land on which they were crowded together, by paving the ground with stones, scraping away every vestige of vegetation, cutting down the trees, turning away birds and beasts, and filling the air with the smoke of naphtha and coal, still spring was spring, even in the town.

The sun shone warm, the air was balmy; everywhere, where it did not get scraped away, the grass revived and sprang up between the paving-stones as well as on the narrow strips of lawn on the boulevards. The birches, the poplars, and the wild cherry unfolded their gummy and fragrant leaves, the limes were expanding their opening buds; crows, sparrows, and pigeons, filled with the joy of spring, were getting their nests ready; the flies were buzzing along the walls, warmed by the sunshine. All were glad, the plants, the birds, the insects, and the children. But men, grown-up men and women, did not leave off cheating and tormenting themselves and each other. It was not this spring morning men thought sacred and worthy of consideration not the beauty of God's world, given for a joy to all creatures, this beauty which inclines the heart to peace, to harmony, and to love, but only their own devices for enslaving one another.

La puissance des ténèbres; drame en cinq actes [par] comte Léon Tolstoï. Traduit par E. Halpérine

"Resurrection - III" de Leon Tolstoi. 1873-1877.

Résurrection - III

Dernières paroles: La guerre Russo-Japonaise; Les évenements actuels en Russie ; Aux hommes politiques; Du Journal Intime

This carefully crafted ebook: "Anna Karenina - 2 Classic Unabridged Translations in one eBook (Garnett and Maude translations)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Widely considered a pinnacle in realist fiction, Tolstoy considered Anna Karenina his first real novel and Dostoevsky declared it to be "flawless as a work of art". His opinion was shared by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired "the flawless magic of Tolstoy's style", and by William Faulkner, who described the novel as "the best ever written". The novel is currently enjoying enormous popularity, as demonstrated by a recent poll of 125 contemporary authors by J. Peder Zane, published in 2007 in The Top Ten, which declared that Anna Karenina is the "greatest novel ever written".
Plot: A bachelor, Vronsky is willing to marry her if she would agree to leave her husband Karenin, a government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, her own insecurities and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky eventually takes Anna to Europe where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity.
About the Garnett translation: Constance Garnett's translation of Anna  Karenina is still among the best. Some scholars feel that her language  is closer to the 19th-century sense of the original. Garnett translated  seventy volumes of Russian prose for publication, including all of  Dostoyevsky's novels. A friend of Garnett's, D. H. Lawrence, was in awe  of her matter-of-fact endurance, recalling her "sitting out in the  garden turning out reams of her marvelous translations from the Russian.  She would finish a page, and throw it off on a pile on the floor  without looking up, and start a new page. That pile would be this  high--really, almost up to her knees, and all magical."
About the Maude translation: the translation by Aylmer Maude (1858-1938) and Louise Shanks Maude (1855-1939) is highly considered by scholars. This unabridged and annotated translation from the original russian by Louise and Aylmer Maude was originally published in 1918. The Maudes are classical translators of Leo Tolstoy who worked directly with the author and gained his personal endorsement.
