I see the name Tolstoy and shudder with fear.
ReplyDeleteThe Cossacks is not familiar to me so I will have to look it up and see if my shakes subside..lol.
This is quite a reading list. I will share with hubby who is an avid a reader as you have shown yourself to be.
The Cossacks has a Wikipedia entry. It's not one of his great works, but it was enjoyable. I wasn't sure if I was going to write a blog on it, but now that you've expressed interest I will. Perhaps this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm certain a blog on this Tolstoy work would be very interesting Manny if you should decide to blog it.
ReplyDeleteThe better half would be most interested in your thoughts!
