Tina Zee Why Tina loves this book

The book is both a profound window into a world where protocols must be adhered, and scandals must be avoided at all costs. The intimate love between Anna and her lover lead to isolation and despair. It gips the heart with emotional turmoil at a time of political changes occuring in Russia at the time.

What is this book about?

In 1872 the mistress of a neighbouring landowner threw herself under a train at a station near Tolstoy's home. This gave Tolstoy the starting point he needed for composing what many believe to be the greatest novel ever written.

In writing Anna Karenina he moved away from the vast historical sweep of War and Peace to tell, with extraordinary understanding, the story of an aristocratic woman who brings ruin on herself.

To make sense of current events in the Middle East, I’d definitely put this excellent book at the top of my list. Fromkin argues that the modern Middle East was shaped by the Allies during and after World War I, not just because of their plans to remake the region, but also due to their lack of follow-through. Does the story sound familiar? While the book wraps up in 1922, the arbitrary borders drawn for Arab states, the creation of Israel, and the rise of hostile sentiments—sparked by the political moves of European powers—set the stage for many of the crises we see today.
