Résurrection: Roman (Classic Reprint)

En gare de Moscou, deux jeunes gens s'aiment au premier regard. Femme d'un haut fonctionnaire, ornement de la société tsariste de son temps, Anna Karénine éblouit le frivole comte Wronsky par sa grâce, son élégance et sa gaieté. À ce bonheur, à cette passion réciproque porteuse de scandale et de destruction, ils ne résistent pas longtemps.En écho à cette tragédie programmée, on entend toute l'âme d'un peuple et les premiers craquements de l'Empire russe en train de se lézarder. L'inoubliable Anna Karénine, c'est l'apogée du génie littéraire de l'auteur de Guerre et Paix.

Anna Karénine

Begun in 1851, when Tolstoy was twenty-three and serving as a cadet in the Russian army, Childhood, the first part of Tolstoy’s first novel, won immediate praise from Turgenev and others, and marked Tolstoy’s emergence as a major writer. Its originality was striking, as Tolstoy sought to communicate with great immediacy the “poetry” of childhood—the intense emotions, confusions, and fears attendant upon a young boy, Nikolenka, as he grows up. In the years following, Boyhood and Youth appeared (a fourth volume was planned but never executed), each replete with psychological and philosophical subtleties hitherto unknown in Russian literature. In Scammell’s resplendent translation, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth remains one of Tolstoy’s major works.

Enfance, Adolescence, Jeunesse

V této rozsáhlé epopeji, jejíž rámec tvoří válka s Napoleonem, jeho tažení do Ruska, požár Moskvy a bitvy u Slavkova i Borodina, nevytvořil Tolstoj jen válečný román nebo pouze román historický, ale syntetický román času a prostoru podávající souhrnný obraz ruské společnosti.

La Guerre et la Paix II

It happened in the 'seventies in winter, on the day after St. Nicholas's Day. There was a fete in the parish and the innkeeper, Vasili Andreevich Brekhunov, a Second Guild merchant, being a church elder had to go to church, and had also to entertain his relatives and friends at home.

But when the last of them had gone he at once began to prepare to drive over to see a neighbouring proprietor about a grove which he had been bargaining over for a long time. He was now in a hurry to start, lest buyers from the town might forestall him in making a profitable purchase.

The youthful landowner was asking ten thousand rubles for the grove simply because Vasili Andreevich was offering seven thousand. Seven thousand was, however, only a third of its real value. Vasili Andreevich might perhaps have got it down to his own price, for the woods were in his district and he had a long-standing agreement with the other village dealers that no one should run up the price in another's district, but he had now learnt that some timber-dealers from town meant to bid for the Goryachkin grove, and he resolved to go at once and get the matter settled. So as soon as the feast was over, he took seven hundred rubles from his strong box, added to them two thousand three hundred rubles of church money he had in his keeping, so as to make up the sum to three thousand; carefully counted the notes, and having put them into his pocket-book made haste to start.

Master and Man

Dans ce roman, publié pour la première fois en France en 1888,Tolstoï, qui parle au nom de Katia, raconte une simple histoire d’amour entre une jeune femme de dix-sept ans et son mari de vingt ans son aîné. Le déroulement en est prévisible. L’admiration de la jeune femme cède à l’ennui dans cette campagne russe à l’ordre sans faille.Vient ensuite le désir de la ville, la fascination pour Saint-Pétersbourg, la vie mondaine, le délitement de la relation amoureuse et aussi la confirmation que depuis le début le mari a tout prévu. Ce roman simple et linéaire est magnifique dans sa sensibilité et la subtilité des sentiments évoqués.

War and Peace is a novel by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy, first published in 1869. The work is epic in scale and is regarded as one of the most important works of world literature. It is considered Tolstoy's finest literary achievement, along with his other major prose work Anna Karenina.

This complete english version translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude was originally published in 1922. It includes all 15 books + the first and second epilogue. The Maudes are classical translators of Leo Tolstoy who worked directly with the author and gained his personal endorsement.

This e-book is carefully crafted and contains a detailed table of contents.

War and Peace (Maude translation)

Un homme, une femme... Elle, c'est Anna : belle, riche, du "meilleur monde" et mariée à quelque chose comme un de nos énarques. haut fonctionnaire qui lui assure un confortable statut d'épouse et de mère. Lui, Alexis, c'est le play-boy de la Russie impériale, officier de cavalerie comme l'est tout jeune noble de son temps et menant la vie de régiment : le jeu, les femmes, les voitures (hippomobiles), les dettes, les virées entre camarades. Anna et Alexis se rencontrent, ils s'éprennent l'un de l'autre, et voilà bientôt formé un couple d'amants qui défraie la chronique, au grand dam du mari trompé. Histoire banale, dira-t-on. Sauf que nous sommes vers 1870 à Moscou et à Pétersbourg, c'est-à-dire en un temps et dans une société où ne se transgressent pas impunément certaines convenances. La passion adultère d'Anna pour Alexis crée des drames qui risquent fort de tourner à la tragédie...
