BOOK LOVERS GROUP
Book: ANNA KARENINA
Venue: Sheraton Hotel, Exchange Bar
|
|
Join us at the popular SBC Book Club. Enjoy lively
discussions over a drink or two. Whether you are an avid reader
or would like to read more, you'll love our relaxed group.
The book we'll
be talking about this month is Anna Karenina by Leo
Tolstoy
'All happy families are alike; every unhappy family is unhappy
in its own way'. "Anna Karenina" is a novel of unparalleled
richness and complexity, set against the backdrop of Russian
high society. Tolstoy charts the course of the doomed love
affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count
Vronsky, a wealthy army officer who pursues Anna after becoming
infatuated with her at a ball. Although she initially resists
his charms Anna eventually succumbs, falling passionately in
love and setting in motion a chain of events that lead to her
downfall. In this extraordinary novel, Tolstoy seamlessly weaves
together the lives of dozens of characters, while evoking a love
so strong that those who experience it are prepared to die for
it."
Light bar meals available (decide on the day).

&"Stephen Frears' adaption of Posy Simmonds' colourful graphic novel
(which in turn was based on Thomas Hardy's 'Far from the Madding Crowd')
presents a rural England of leafy lanes, rolling fields and thatched
houses suffused in an idyllic glow. Scratch the surface and look behind
the hedgerows, though, and you will find a cesspit of dark deeds and
evil thoughts, much of it unleashed by two precocious and bored teenage
girls who create a web of intrigue around the unfortunate adults."
