Tolstoy’s epic ranges from stirring depictions of historical events to intimate portraits of family life, moving between public spectacles and private lives to offer a tale of both panoramic scope and closely observed detail.
From the breathless excitement of 16-year-old Natasha Rostov’s first ball, to Prince Andrei Bolkonsky’s epiphany on the battlefield at Austerlitz, the novel abounds in memorable incidents, particularly those involving Pierre Bezukhov. A seeker after moral and spiritual truths, Pierre and his search for life’s deeper meaning stand at the heart of this monumental book.

English
Considered by some to be the greatest novel ever written, Anna Karenina is Tolstoy’s classic tale of love and adultery set against the backdrop of high society in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. A rich and complex masterpiece, the novel charts the disastrous course of a love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer.
Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together the lives of dozens of characters, and in doing so captures a breathtaking tapestry of late-nineteenth-century Russian society. As Matthew Arnold wrote in his celebrated essay on Tolstoy, We are not to take Anna Karenina as a work of art; we are to take it as a piece of life.

For fans of Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation, the classic Russian novel about an indolent aristocrat who spends most of his days in bedA Penguin ClassicWritten with sympathetic humor and compassion, this masterful portrait of upper-class decline made Ivan Goncharov famous throughout Russia on its publication in 1859.
Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is a member of Russia’s dying aristocracya man so lazy that he has given up his job in the Civil Service, neglected his books, insulted his friends, and found himself in debt. Too apathetic to do anything about his problems, he lives in a grubby, crumbling apartment, waited on by Zakhar, his equally idle servant.
Terrified by the activity necessary to participate in the real world, Oblomov manages to avoid work, postpones change, andfinallyrisks losing the love of his life. This superb translation by David Magarshack captures all the subtle comedy and near-tragedy of the original.

Strange men drive you through the night and keep you prisoner. You don’t know who they are. You don’t know what they want. They speak a language you don’t even understand. This happened to me. Just three weeks after my 21st birthday, on the evening of October 4th, 1994, I was abducted from the streets of my hometown in southern Russia while on my way home.
They drugged me and drove to another country, where they held me captive in a tiny room at first, and then under a house in a pit. I didn’t have a toothbrush, comb, no other clothing, or even spare underwear.
I was utterly alone no friends, no family, nothing… Every day, I had to knock on the door to my room, so that a blank-eyed gunman with an AK-47 would let me out and walk me to the bathroom under his supervision.

12. The Cherry Orchard
Author: by Anton Chekhov
0486266826
Dover Publications
English
The Cherry Orchard was first produced by the Moscow Art Theatre on Chekhov’s last birthday, January 17, 1904. Since that time it has become one of the most critically admired and performed plays in the Western world, a high comedy whose principal theme, the passing of the old semifeudal order, is symbolized in the sale of the cherry orchard owned by Madame Ranevsky.
The play also functions as a magnificent showcase for Chekhov’s acute observations of his characters’ foibles and for quizzical ruminations on the approaching dissolution of the world of the Russian aristocracy and life as it was lived on their great country estates.
While the subject and the characters of the work are, in a sense, timeless, the dramatic technique of the play was a Chekhovian innovation. In this and other plays he developed the concept of “indirect action,” in which the dramatic action takes place off stage and the significance of the play revolves around the reactions of the characters to those unseen events.
13. Uncle Vanya (TCG Edition)

“Superior to any other Uncle Vanya I’ve read or seen… Baker practices astonishing verbal magic over and over again.” – Clancy Martin, Paris Review”Strikingly intimate… Free of the stilted or formal locutions that clutter up some of the more antique-sounding translations…
Ms. Baker has given the play a natural but distinctly contemporary American sound.” – Charles Isherwood, New York Times”Devastatingly beautiful… People are going to be talking about this one for years.” – Jacob Gallagher-Ross, Village Voice”More than a modern-dress treatment of a classic work, it’s a fresh rethinking of the material from the perspective of a modern mind.” – Marilyn Stasio, VarietyAnnie Baker, one of the most celebrated playwrights in the United States, lends her truthful observation and elegant command of the colloquial to Anton Chekhov’s despairing masterpiece Uncle Vanya.
A critical hit in its sold-out Off-Broadway premiere, Baker’s telling is a refreshingly intimate and modern treatment of a Chekhovian classic. Annie Baker’s plays include The Flick (The Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Obie Award), The Aliens (Obie Award), Circle Mirror Transformation (Obie Award) and Body Awareness.
