A masterful portrait of a woman's emotional evolution, the anatomy of a marriage, a classic work by Tolstoy. Seventeen-year-old Masha, after the death of her parents, marries Sergey Mikhailovich, her father's friend. A tender relationship develops between them that brings happiness to both, but their lives will change when they decide to settle in St. Petersburg for a while.
Masha is enchanted by the charm of high society salons, and her marriage begins to fade... "Married life," Tolstoy tells us, "even if founded on love, is a fragile balance of suppressed desires, of complexes lurking in wait. The balance of coexistence can easily be disturbed, and then anything can happen. True love, however, no matter how it is tested, has a way of being preserved through successive transformations."
From the preface by Dimitris Stefanakis. I have been through much and I believe I have found what I need to be happy. A calm, solitary life in the solitude of our village, with the ability to do good for people, for whom it is so easy to do good and they are not accustomed to it. Then work, work that seems to yield benefit. Then rest, nature, a book, music, love for one’s neighbor; there is my happiness and nothing more than this is what I was thinking.
Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)
