My favorite parts of the book were Levin taking care of his farm, agonizing over the catch-22 of the peasant problem, and toiling over his feelings of intellectual inadequacy.

It is... half of it, at least. Anna and Vronsky parts make me want to kill myself, but the Levin and the Scherbatsky family parts are so comfy they make it all worthwhile. It is a beautifully written book with one glaring flaw - the titular character. Tolstoy attempts to make you sympathize with adultery similarly to how Dostoevsky makes a case for murder in C&P but the more she bitches and moans the more insufferable she becomes. But really you should read it. It has a little bit of everything so you will surely get something out of it and who knows, you might even like the romance parts.

>> No.21395224

>>21390363
I don't get it. Is this alluding to the fact that Tolkien overdescribes the environment yet gives little to no description on characters and animals?
