Anna Karenina

These days, i've been watching the epic Russian story, Anna Karenina while reading the novel too. But i admit it, that reading such a classic story in Englishs not as simple as i tought. A classic novel contains too many unfamiliar vocabs that i had to search for. Nonetheless, it had some odd energy to continue. Yes, something classic has its own toughness.

I've always love Count Nicolayive Leo Tolstoy as my all the time favourite author. I defined him as spritual person ever after. His long way prilgimage through the life time swaned many great story who could affected human being. Many of them are realism on patterned.The one of that story was about Anna Karenina. who publised firstly as serial in 1873.

Anna Karenina is story about aristochrated woman who lived in St.Petersbug, Russian. Anna is the wife of General Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin who was twenty years senior and a famous statesman. We could say by any review that the main of this story is about the affair between Anna and Count Alexis Vronsky. As Joe Wright, the director of Anna Karenina 2012's movie said, a scandal shake the nation. But, the novel tells so many things beyond the main review.

First, even before reading the novel fully, i have adoring General Karenin so much. He is definitely a plain man, knowing nothing but work and politic. Like any plain men i've ever knew, they just could not uttering any affection but they love in certain. Anna, is like the other women who happened at 20 years under Karenin, needs all kinds of uttered affection. Just in case, she met the young charismatic guy, Count Vronsky who had an eye for her too. They did whatever they want, but Karenin, despite of his anger, he try to acted as wise as he could as a gentleman. In the end of story, after Anna commited suicide, he took care both of children, Seryozha, his son with Anna and  Annie, Anna and Vronsky's daughter. Jude Laws amazingly stole the view as General Karenin in 2012 movie production.

The second man i adore is Constantin Dmitrich Levin. He has a man with such a wonderful insights of  the world. He taught out of the aristochrated society did. Levin was landowner, lived in countryside with some farmer who lived in modesty. Levin was only know one girl Kitty, and he didn't love if it wasn't for marriage. Levin was such great scholar who lived near people. The concept of communism and other insights are explained either by his dialogue with aqcuitances or his mind conversation.

Honestly, i write this before i finish reading the novel. A half of my reading and after watched the movie, i conclude the two character i love most. This simple review is dedicated for General Karenin and Count Levin who i can say that "A gentleman should be like that"



Enjoy the day
