Anna Karenina (Palm Reader)

[bryus]

This week's eBook is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. This is a big one so I have split it into two parts.

This is in Palm Reader format.

Here is part 2.

Thanks so much Bryus!! This is my absolute favorite novel by Tolstoy, and - in my opinion - one of the greatest books of all times.

If you're new to Tolstoy, this is a good one to start with before trying to tackle "War and Peace" - also an excellent (but quite long) read....

Yes, I have noticed that Russian writers don't do "short" stories, only "epic" novels. ;)

Heh, what's about Anton Chehov? He has a number of excellent short stories! ;)

I see 48 titles on Gutenberg for Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. Any favorites?

Cool, thanks byrus.

Strange that part 1 has been downloaded more than part 2.....:D

I notice that quite a bit on the multi-part eBooks. My theory is that most people will get both and either load both on their memory card, or keep one on their desktop. But, a few will just download the one they need now and comeback for the other one when they finish part one.

Chalk me up as another Tolstoy fan, so thanks Bryus. Anna Karenina is one of the best soap operas you will ever encounter!

I'm butting in, but my Chekhov short story favorites are:

The Bet
The House with the Mansard
The Pecheneg
The Bishop

Chekhov was a true master of the writing art. But keep the prozac on hand - almost all of his stories have a dreamy, nostalgiic and melencholy feeling to them... almost bittersweet...

A collection of Chekhov stories all together in one PalmReader eBook would be very nice.
