The CodeX Cantina

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 1, 2, and 3! 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. While I'm sure everyone will ask "what is the best translation of Anna Karenina", we think you should find the right version for you. Una's copy was translated by Constance Garnett while Krypto read the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation.  Anna Karenina In-Depth Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkaqYLXOzWM&list=PLHg_kbfrA7YAeKApGlGHLejJIznz37SOE&t=0s 5 Tips for Reading Anna Karenina: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkaqYLXOzWM Read Anna Karenina for Free: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1399 Listen to Anna Karenina for Free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kjWJjtMwuQ&list=PLnkWWmhVvhc1-9cGZQdU9RAzGorIK1b1n Part 1 Audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kjWJjtMwuQ ✨Do you have a Short Story or Novel you'd think we'd like or would want to see us cover?
