Anna Karenina Fix de Viv Groskop

Anna Karenina Fix

Autor Viv Groskop
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 oct 2019
Life lessons from Russian Literature As Viv Groskop knows from personal experience, everything that has ever happened to a person has already happened in the Russian classics: from not being sure what to do with your life (Anna Karenina), to being hopelessly in love with someone who doesn't love you back (Turgenev's A Month in the Country), or being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov's work). In The Anna Karenina Fix, Groskop mines these and other works, as well as the lives of their celebrated creators and her own experiences as a student of Russian, to answer the question "How should you live your life?" or at least be less miserable. This is a charming and fiercely intelligent book, a love letter to Russian literature.

Recenzii

Wonderfully entertaining, hilarious. Contains the distilled wisdom of some of the greatest writers who ever lived. Explored with dancing wit, affection and brilliance, this is a passionate, hilarious, joyful love letter to Russian literature.
Enchanting. Groskop falls in love with the literature, her impressive knowledge of which she conveys with a charmingly breezy tone
A beguiling tasting menu of some of the finest reading experiences of my life. Witty, likeable, and lighthearted, Viv Groskop invites us to embrace the work of these august Russian dead souls as belonging to us all
Groskop has a knack of giving you just enough biography of the author, just enough tantalising kiss-and-tell detail from the works . . . A delightful primer and companion to all the authors you are ashamed to admit you haven't read
What does Tolstoy have in common with Oprah Winfrey? What can Chekhov teach us about body image? In The Anna Karenina Fix, comedian Viv Groskop shows us how to use Russian literature as self-help, with hilarious and eye-opening results
A wry literary memoir examining what we can learn from the great Russian novelists
Funny and only second best to reading the stuff itself
A highly knowledgeable jaunt through 150 years of literature
