A most palpable portrayal of life in this fallen, decaying world. Konstantin Levin, though a very simple and simply depicted man, is one of my favorite characters in literature.

This is just really good.

Tolstoy really captures the insufferable superficiality of socialites quite aptly. I'm not sure I've ever wanted to smack so many people when reading a book before, specifically for their treatment of Levin, who is clearly my brother.

Already highly intrigued. Shouldn't have waiting so long to indulge in Tolstoy, but better late than never. I am already a quite a fan of Levin.
