Download or read book Anna Karenina written by Leo Tolstoy and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 1984-06-01 with total page 1010 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution, Anna Karenina portrays the moving story of people whose emotions conflict with the dominant social mores of their time. Sensual, rebellious Anna falls deeply and passionately in love with the handsome Count Vronsky. When she refuses to conduct the discreet affair that her cold, ambitious husband (and Russian high society) would condone, she is doomed. Set against the tragic love of Anna and Vronsky, the plight of the melancholy nobleman Konstantine Levin unfolds. In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by thoughts of suicide, Levin’s struggles echo Tolstoy’s own spiritual crisis. But Anna's inner turmoil mirrors the own emotional imprisonment and mental disintegration of a woman who dares to transgress the strictures of a patriarchal world. In Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism and created a masterpiece that bared the Russian soul.

Download or read book The Building of the Great Pyramid written by Nicholas Hagger and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he was ten Nicholas Hagger's dentist, Howard Carter's brother, told him about the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb, and he was later given a shawabti (funerary figurine) of Tutankhamun that came from the tomb. As a teenager he was fascinated by the Great Pyramid, and in 1963 he wrote ‘The Riddle of the Great Pyramid' as a parable for our time. Written as a report by an official living at Giza during the construction in progress in c.2600BC, it explains the massive organisation and endeavour that has gone into the building so far when those involved in the work do not know its purpose or why it is being built. The notion of the Great Pyramid as a symbol of bafflement and a microcosm of Western society has haunted Hagger throughout his working life. After visiting it in 2005 he wrote a sequel by the same official, ‘The Meaning and Purpose of the Great Pyramid', which carries the story forward, and after another visit in 2020 he wrote ‘The Great Pyramid as a House of Eternity', which completed a Pyramid trilogy. These three reports, which have followed research into the building of the Great Pyramid for 57 years, are now brought out together with illustrations that throw light on the events described and reveal the Pharaoh's face on the Sphinx. Collectively they offer a factual account of the construction soon after 2600BC and the aspirations of humans seeking a life beyond death before the birth of the established religions, and as parables in the tradition of Swift, they profoundly question the modern world of work and organisation of Western society. They present a quest for eternity that is also a self-aggrandising folly at the beginning of recorded history, and illustrate the dialectic between a quest for Reality and condemnation of follies and vices that Hagger identified as the fundamental theme of world literature in A New Philosophy of Literature.
