Anna Karenina Parts 6, 7, 8 by Leo Tolstoy - Book Summary, Analysis, Review
Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Is there a more famous book out there? Maybe. This is a book you'll want to read before you die. Krypto and Una are finally diving into this mammoth and performing an in-depth discussion as they work through it. This will cover Anna Karenina Parts 6, 7, and 8! Leo Tolstoy may have been Russia's greatest writer, he may have been their greatest moralist. Any way you look at it, it's hard to compare the themes of love, public and private life, or adultery any closer than how Tolstoy does in this book. What does the ending mean? Is it a happy ending?

Twenty-Six and a Girl by Maxim Gorky - Short Story Summary, Analysis, Review
Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we look at Russia's Maxim Gorky (Maksim Gorky) and "Twenty-Six and One" (Twenty-Six and a Girl) which was published in 1899. A great piece that shows the plight of the working life under the Russian Empire at the time. Possible influences and interpretations of religion in here as well. I hope you enjoy the piece! Our version was translated by Ivan Strannik.

Anna Karenina Part 4 and 5 by Leo Tolstoy - Book Summary, Analysis, Review
Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Is there a more famous book out there? Maybe. This is a book you'll want to read before you die. Krypto and Una are finally diving into this mammoth and performing an in-depth discussion as they work through it. This will cover Anna Karenina Parts 4 and 5! Leo Tolstoy may have been Russia's greatest writer, he may have been their greatest moralist. Any way you look at it, it's hard to compare the themes of love, public and private life, or adultery any closer than how Tolstoy does in this book. Let's take a break to look at the three spheres of existence from Soren Kierkegaard.
