Leon Tolstoi escribio que Ana Karenina fue autora de un libro de primera calidad… notable . He aqui el recuento de como salieron del olvido los folios de esa obra.

En esta novela, intima y sorprendente, los personajes se tornan personas y tambien viceversa, en un interesante juego de espejos que desvela mas de un enigma.

Enero de 1905, San Petersburgo. Los anarquistas intentan impedir con un atentado la manifestacion multitudinaria que lidera el padre Gapon; la bella Clementine colocara la bomba en el tranvia que cruza el rio Neva congelado. Los hijos de Ana Karenina, que llevan a cuestas la fama de la bella suicida, iran a la opera. El zar se ha i nteresado en adquirir para su coleccion el retrato de Ana. Al remover la bodega para sacar este retrato, se descubre una caja que pertenecio a la Karenina con el manuscrito de Ana, en dos versiones.

La primera incluso gozo de buena apreciacion de un editor potencial. Sin embargo, Ana no estaba conforme y reescribio su novela. El segundo manuscrito es ese texto. El libro de Ana retoma las tramas de los cuentos para ninos; hilandolos, retrata la exasperacion de su animo.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The magnificent, beautiful Ana Karenina, never more gorgeous, is the sun at midnight. Leo Tolstoy wrote that Anna Karenina was the author of a top quality, notable book . Here is the account of how the pages of that work were discovered.

January, 1905. St. Petersburg. Anarchists attempt to quell the mass demonstration led by Father Gapon with an attack; the beautiful Clementine places the bomb on the streetcar that crosses the frozen Neva River. Ms. Karenina’s children, who carry the weight of the beautiful woman who killed herself, are going to the opera. The czar has shown interest in acquiring a portrait of Ana for his collection. Upon rooting through the cellr to find this portrait, a box is discovered that contains two versions of Ana’s manuscript. The first even received acclaim by a potential editor. But Ana hadn’t agreed and ended up rewriting her novel. The second manuscript is this text. Ana’s Book takes up the themes of children’s stories, and by interweaving them, paints a portrait of her extreme exasperation. In this intimate, surprising novel, the characters become real people and vice versa in an interesting game of mirrors that ultimately resolves more than one mystery.
