“Family Happiness” is Tolstoy’s ironically-titled novella about a young seventeen-year-old girl who marries a much older man. Initially distressed to find that her naïve conception of marriage did not adequately prepare her for the complexities her new life, Mashechka becomes corrupted by the pretentious frivolities of St. Petersburg society. An exquisitely realistic psychological portrait of a young woman’s emotional evolution, “Family Happiness” was published in 1859.

Book Diary 2020 (112 books items)" We were walking along an avenue, and it seemed to me, whenever I looked ahead, that we could go no farther in the same direction, that the world of the possible ended there, and that the whole scene must remain fixed forever in it's beauty.
