Book
Anna Karenina
by Лев Толстой
2004·Penguin
While previous versions have softened the robust and sometimes shocking qualities of Tolstoy's writing, Pevear and Volokhonsky have produced a translation true to his powerful voice. This authoritative edition, which received the PEN Translation Prize and was an Oprah Book Club™ selection, also includes an illuminating introduction and explanatory notes. Beautiful, vigorous, and eminently readable, this Anna Karenina will be the definitive text for fans of the film and generations to come. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition also features French flaps and deckle-edged paper.

- The End of Reading Is HereThis article explores the decline of deep reading in the modern era, framing it as a potential end to a historical anomaly rather than an inevitable progression. It traces the history of literacy from the Library of Alexandria through the printing press to the digital age, arguing that the internet, social media, and algorithmic content delivery are rewiring human cognition away from sustained, linear reading. The piece examines neurological research on how digital media affects attention spans and comprehension, and considers the cultural, educational, and democratic implications of a post-reading society.Jul 8, 2026
