Isaac Babel said: “if the world could write, it would write like Tolstoy.”
How true this is. Tolstoy is the master of portraying such varying, intense, and deeply relatable emotion. The unity in every character, how he describes the emotion playing across every part of a person, from their dress, to their facial expressions, to their every movement. Kitty, watching Anna dance with Vronsky, broke my heart.
