„Anna Karenina“ on lugu ootamatust ahvatlusest, moraalsest konfliktist ning unistustest ja nende purunemisest. Ennekõike on see aga lugu ühest erakordsest naisest ja suurest armastusest, mis sunnib eirama ühiskonnareegleid ja viib etteaimatavalt traagilise lõpplahenduseni.Lev Tolstoi suurteos on oma paeluva sündmustiku ja meisterliku stiiliga inspireerinud lugematuid põlvkondi. Sageli maailma parimaks romaaniks tituleeritud teost on Fjodor Dostojevski nimetanud täiuslikuks kunstiteoseks.

The Nobel Prize-winner Doris Lessing’s first novel is a taut and tragic portrayal of a crumbling marriage, set in South Africa during the years of Arpartheid.Doris Lessing brought the manuscript of ‘The Grass is Singing’ with her when she left Southern Rhodesia and came to England in 1950. When it was first published it created an impact whose reverberations we are still feeling, and immediately established itself as a landmark in twentieth-century literature.Set in Rhodesia, it tells the story of Dick Turner, a failed white farmer and his wife, Mary, a town girl who hates the bush. Trapped by poverty, sapped by the heat of their tiny brick and iron house, Mary, lonely and frightened, turns to Moses, the black cook, for kindness and understanding.A masterpiece of realism, ‘The Grass is Singing’ is a superb evocation of Africa’s majestic beauty, an intense psychological portrait of lives in confusion and, most of all, a passionate exploration of the ideology of white supremacy.
