Most of my blogs start with this line,
"So I heard this one podcast..." and I did hear a podcast featuring a story of a doctor held in prison delivering the entire book of Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy to 8 other prisoner through Morse code on prison walls.
One of the listener finds a new way of loving his wife who was away from him at that time and so did my interest was intrigues.
I reopened the book and started going through the pages after pages, chapters after chapters of Anna Karenina.
Exhausted almost until I came to an end finally today, after 4-5 months of continuous reading.
I was sitting in my room filled with dull light of the oil lamp, while I could see the outside road flowing with buses and vehicles as the last chapter was run by through audio recording.
I wished why was this book ending so soon.
I will not say I enjoyed each and every moment of it, but the few of its moments have engraved in my conscious as if to never forget them.
The thoughts that rung through me as I am done with this great master piece by Tolstoy, I am astonished how easily he can write the blunt truth and wretched thoughts by humans.
Anna falls in love with a man outside of her wedlock but her feelings for him seems amazingly true and loving that you cant help but admire her honesty.
The other side of the story where a man named Levin go through a loving relationship to a generalized marriage with understanding and love life, Anna peruses her momentary joy and happiness ending up with a horrific state of life.
Anna's husband on the other hand seems helpless also arrogant and also a forgivable man at times.
The most important thing this book teaches is the shades of humans throughout the course of life.
We all try to think of ourselves and others into a spectrum of colors and one being gray, white or black... But Leo tells us a harsh truth story that people change and their affections and love and devotions change.
He presents us not a conclusion of what right and whats wrong, but mere a tale of people with complex lives. He makes us believe in the fact that what you think isnt always right or wrong and everyone has a right to explain their actions.
Unfortunately in the end it all seems vague and you can not really decide what to think about this tale, but it sure feels that we now know that moral values are always objective.
Some people might find the extra long texts in this book boring such as thoughts of dogs, or the political situation discussed at such a intense level. But to me despite of all the effort I found Anna Karenina worth my time. She feel like an heroin of a different time yet resonates with each of us even today with her honest and fearless thoughts.
To an epic tale! Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy!
