http://tacklingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
What brave new world is this that has such treasures in it? Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.". Charles Myriel a.k.a. Monseigneur Bienvenu, The Bishop of Digne. Which offers a 1987 English translation by Lee Fahnestock and Norman MacAfee&#...

Hurdling Hugo: November 2011
http://tacklingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Coming in January: Hurdling Hugo. And hints toward Capote's In Cold Blood. Sometime soon, I will have to review them for the blog here. However, in the meantime, I have an announcement to make. It was a little over a year ago that I announced my intention to read Tolstoy's classic War and Peace. From that simple announcement, a journey of two novels, several short stories, and a literary awakening sprang forth. I came to a realization before I had even finished War and Peace. I'll take to reading Hugo's ...

Or Inching Toward the Finish Line. He had to remain in Moscow, concealing his name, meet Napoleon, and kill him, so as either to perish, or to put an end to the misfortunes of all Europe, which proceeded, in Pierre's opinion, solely from Napoleon.".

Given up blogging (even though my posts have been non-existent for the better part of this month)! Reading War and Peace. Which I d...

Looks Like We Made It! Or Reminiscings Upon the Completion of "War and Peace". There was always a provocative side to Tolstoy's genius, and it was most often what spurred him to write.". From his Introduction to Anna Karenina. Last week, on Monday, May 16, 2010, at about 6:00am - 136 days after I started my journey through War and Peace. I read the final sentences of Tolstoy's epic. Some reflections on my time spent in War and Peace. Tolstoy's prose is absolutely captivating. He inspires your imagina...
