Epilogue was hell! I was 13 and I had that stuff to read during summer. 4 volumes is much for a 13 years old boy. I knew better summers in my life.Originally Posted by kalinka_vinnie
Hey War and Peace is totally cool, man! I skipped most of the epilogues though...
It's very hard to read because Tolstoy had a sadistic tendency to leap into French so I had to jump from the text to footnotes and back all the time. I absolutely hated it.
Send me a PM if you need me.
Лол, почему они не переводят эти фразы с французского на русский для того, что не надо проверять со сносками... Или по меньшей мере, сноски должны быть на французском, и текст на русском, потому что я предполагаю, что большинство людей не говорит по-французски. Так было бы намного легче... В английской версии все написано по-английски...Epilogue was hell! I was 13 and I had that stuff to read during summer. 4 volumes is much for a 13 years old boy.

Yeah, that was a nightmare.
Tolstoy would be furious.
Ладно.Это еще не показатель
В книге может быть много смешного, но это не значит, что книга в целом смешная.
I'm but a beginner in Russian, so please correct me.
However, I'm supposed to be good in English, so if you correct me there, I become very angry! Grr!
And if you, for some reason, need help in Finnish, I'm glad to help.
Я, когда читала "Войну и мир", почти выучила французский.
Кстати, это важно, когда герой говорит на французском, а когда на русском. Русские люди из высшего общества в то время часто на французском языке говорили лучше, чем на родном.
Ну еще бы
В "английских версиях" русской классики даже одна глава из "Братьев Карамазовых" выпускается отдельной книжкой... Специально для "англичан"

My mother told me, that's how she decided to learn French, she opened War and peace and saw a big passage in French , so that's how she decided to learn French
Anyway Huckleberry, I never liked this book I was in love with Tom Sawyer, all my childhood.
Не плюй в колодец, пригодится водицы, напиться.
I liked Finn better, especially that part where he tricked his father and where he and Jim were going down the river on the raft. The chapters about vendetta guys were also intense.
Anyway Huckleberry, I never liked this book I was in love with Tom Sawyer, all my childhood.
I didn't like how Tom and Huck tried to free Jim, it was very funny but at the same time their stupidity irritated me immensely, and I felt that Twain tried to show that Tom is too childish and selfish unlike Huckleberry. And when I was six I didn't like moralizing of that kind.
I liked that Tom was shot, though. I liked books about WWII and was really bloodthirsty at the age. I believed you can't be a real hero untill you're shot a couple of times.
It wasn't my favourite, but it's really nice book. I read it a few times and probably will read again after that discussion.
Well, I hope you get your wish, %^((^%$$!!
DO IT YOURSELF!
Nope, I never wished to be that kind of hero.Well, I hope you get your wish, %^((^%$$!!
Argh! Anyone mentioned Theodore Dreiser and Kurt Vonnegut yet?
And no, I don't like War and Peace or anything else by LT. Though I am sure he was getting a huge female audience back when he was alive.
I've got a TV, and I'm not afraid to use it
I didn't mention Dreiser, but I recommended Vonnegut in the "English for Russians" section.
I want to warn that what I'm going to say now won't be based on any facts because I haven't read War and Peace, as I said above. I think that I wouldn't have liked the novel if I'd read it as compulsory reading at school. The reason for this is I might not have understood it at the time. The thing is - as a schoolboy, I didn't realy like Literature but as soon as I entered university I took to reading various books (including Russian classics). I intend to read "War and Peace" in about two years' time. By the way, what some people do here is they read a lot of Russian classics at school and re-read them many years after the first reading. And virtually all of them claim that they start seeing them in a different way.

Да, я тоже! Ранще не любил читать, а сейчас даже люблю читать об истории и биографиях.
Но, есть сейчас проблема! Я начал изучать этот сумасшедший язык больще чем два года назад, но с тех пор, у меня не было достаточно времиня для этого. (читая, имею виду!)
Let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where I choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to talk, think and act for myself. - Chief Joseph, Nez Perce

P.S. you can also say: особенно классику
Дети не тупые, я считаю. Дело всё в том, что у них другие совершенно интересы. Тебе в детстве нравились чтоли классики?Это все, потому что дети тупые. Ненавижу детей.
