Is illustrated with scenes from the photoplay, a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production starring John Gilbert anfd Renee Adoree. Unfortunately also has some ink-type marks on foredge and corners of attractive dustwrapper. Quick, wonderful read. Tolstoy's insights into another culture are poignant and relevant. This novel speaks much of the problems of the multinational Russian empire, and maintains its relevance in the modern era's issues of globalization. I agree with all that is said below and would only want to add that, as a Tolstoy fan, I believe The Cossacks to be his most underrated work. Aside from the textured ebb and flow that counts for all of his work and the true mastery of his prose, this story beautifully depicts the dark sadness of wanting something or someone you cannot have and know you will not be brave enough to seize. Tolstoy is of course, the grand master, and this is one fine example of his ability to work his prose into your each and every spore. A short novel based on Tolstoy's early life as a soldier in the Caucusus. It has the energy and poetry of youth while at the same time foreshadowing the great themes of Tolstoy's later years. Tolstoy explores the birth and death of love and the transience of life. brak recenzji | dodaj recenzję
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812975049, Paperback)This 1862 novel, in a vibrant new translation by Peter Constantine, is Tolstoy’s semiautobiographical story of young Olenin, a wealthy, disaffected Muscovite who joins the Russian army and travels to the untamed frontier of the Caucasus in search of a more authentic life. While striving to adopt the rough and ready lifestyle of the local Cossacks, Olenin falls in love with a free-spirited girl whose fiancé turns out to be a formidable opponent. Showcasing the philosophical insight that would characterize Tolstoy’s later masterpieces, this long overdue translation is a revelation.(pobrane z Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) Pierwsza runda testów została zakończona.
