Guide to Leo Tolstoy #shorts

Don't just jump into War and Peace-- I have talked to too many people who pick up War and Peace, read 100 pages, and never finish it. Let this be your guide on Leo Tolstoy.

Thanks very much! I started with ear and peace and i was completely clueless of what I was reading

[jmichaelbell]

Finally, so happy someone besides myself considers RESURRECTION necessary reading of Tolstoy.❤

i’m currently reading anna karenina as my first tolstoy book, and i absolutely love it, will probably become my favorite book of all time once i finish it.

[TourchezArt]

A confession has to be one of my favorites

[keshaheffron]

Thanks! Well, I'm on track, having read the first book. However, I think it will take me a few years, not months to make it through the others. I certainly appreciate the suggestion of how to read them. Thank you.

I am listening to podcast of short stories of Leo
Love them
I have ADD and cannot do big books

[vvaveave]

i'd say hadji murat is also mandatory 😊 (where my fellow hadji murat heads at)

[Insatiableviel]

You forgot to mention his "Hadji Murad"

I spent all of Anna Karenina waiting for the train like the iceberg in titanic.

[muhtasimshammo]

Great! Can I know which one is your favorite Tolstoy novel ?

[TheLenafelly]

At least you read books, moreover, genius ones 💜

[kusumsingh]

I am reading war peace its been 2 days i read almost 180 pages

[Nonyobiz]

Have you read Sevastopol Sketches?
Or How Much Land Does A Man Need?

Can someone tell me which translations should I go for? I'm thinking of Pevear's but a lot of guys on internet say that it's hard to read and suggested Anthony Briggs. But some saying that it's not authentic enough.

I don't want to go for Constance Garnett as I started Crime and Punishment of her 2 times, and both time I put it back. It's just too much old fashioned and I can't pick up a dictionary side by side to read something.

So please, can someone suggest me? I'm really confused.

Read war and peace. My favourite character was Andrei

[AlexxJ.]

There are 12 volumes of Leo Tolstoj. 😊 Little bit more than 3000 pages.

[Thegodliminal]

Will I get in trouble for doing war and peace before Anna Karina? Also, the Gambler, and Family Happiness are fun reads

[riyamishra]

Hey can you recommend a good English translation?
