About the author

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (Russian: Лев Николаевич Толстой; most appropriately used Liev Tolstoy; commonly Leo Tolstoy in Anglophone countries) was a Russian writer who primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works, the novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and a pinnacle of realist fiction. Many consider Tolstoy to have been one of the world's greatest novelists. Tolstoy is equally known for his complicated and paradoxical persona and for his extreme moralistic and ascetic views, which he adopted after a moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870s, after which he also became noted as a moral thinker and social reformer.

His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him in later life to become a fervent Christian anarchist and anarcho-pacifist. His ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Doamne, tu Femeie, dificilă mai ești!
Altceva parcă nici nu mai pot spune.
Îmi place enorm cum știe Tolstoi să zugrăvească nobilimea rusă, cum știe să picteze chipurile femeilor prea frumoase, prea delicate sau prea sensibile, cum împletește viața la țară cu cea din capitală, cum inserează politică pe ici pe colo, cum introduce un personaj pe ici pe colo. Măiestrie!
Îmi place cum redă zbuciumul femeii adultere, dar și al soțului înșelat și părăsit, ridică la rang de cinste rolul mamei, cum la fel îl aruncă în prăpastie.
Ce mai! Un roman complex, o capodoperă, un tot. 😊

A tad too long a novel for my taste, but a mandatory read anyway.
