Podcast appearances and mentions of Anna Karenina

In this episode of Lit With Charles, I speak with writer, translator, and Chekhov expert Rosamund Bartlett about her new translation of Chekhov's Early Stories. We talk about how Anton Chekhov - the Russian doctor who transformed short fiction - first found his voice, and why his quiet, compassionate storytelling still feels so modern. Rosamund also shares insights from her other acclaimed works, including About Love and Other Stories (Oxford World's Classics, 2004/8), her celebrated translation of Anna Karenina (Oxford World's Classics, 2014), and The Russian Soul: Selections from A Writer's Diary (Notting Hill Books, 2017). It's a fascinating conversation about literature, translation, and the enduring power of small moments — and I hope you enjoy listening to it!Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading!Rosamund Bartlett's four books were:The Queen of Spades, by Alexander Pushkin (1834)The Student, by Anton Chekhov (1894)Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy (1878)A Writer's Diary, by Fyodor Dostoevsky (1873–1881)

«Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheuren Ungeziefer verwandelt.» So beginnt «Die Verwandlung» von Franz Kafka. Wenn wir die Erzählung lesen, folgen unsere Augen den Buchstaben. Zeichen für Zeichen, Wort für Wort, Zeile für Zeile. Und dann passiert es: das Wunder des Lesens. Zwar folgen unsere Augen weiter den Buchstaben, den Worten, den Zeilen, aber wir sehen sie nicht mehr. Die Zeichen verschwinden, wir tauchen ein in eine andere Welt: Obwohl wir warm und geborgen in unserem Lehnstuhl sitzen, liegen wir plötzlich auch auf einem panzerartig harten Rücken und sehen, wenn wir den Kopf ein wenig heben, unseren gewölbten, braunen, von bogenförmigen Versteifungen geteilten Bauch, auf dessen Seite viele im Vergleich zum monströsen Körper kläglich dünne Beine hilflos vor unseren Augen flimmern. Wir erschrecken und fragen uns mit Gregor Samsa: «Was ist mit mir geschehen?» Nichts, das ist ja das Wunder: Wir folgen mit den Augen harmlosen Buchstaben und verwandeln uns in einen Käfer oder einen Ritter, in Old Shatterhand oder Stiller, in Heidi oder Molly Bloom, Frodo oder Harry Potter, Anna Karenina oder Pippi Langstrumpf. Wie ist das möglich, dass wir durch das blosse Entziffern von Buchstaben uns verwandeln, geistig in eine andere Welt eintauchen und komplett vergessen, dass wir lesen? Und was bedeutet das im Zeitalter der Künstlichen Intelligenz? Heisst das, dass auch die KI uns mir nichts, dir nichts mit ein paar Buchstaben in einen Käfer verwandeln kann?Matthias Zehnder ist Autor und Medienwissenschaftler in Basel.

KPFA theatre critic Richard Wolinsky reviews “Little Women,” adapted by Lauren Gunderson, at TheatreWorks Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts through October 12, 2025.   Little Women Review The classic pre-twentieth century books never die, on stage or on film. A Christmas Carol keeps coming back in December, year after year after year. Maybe the setting is contemporary. Maybe Scrooge is a woman. But the same template carries on and on. Marley. First ghost. Second ghost. Third ghost. Count the beats. Yawn. There are others. Mr. Darcy and the Bennets. Huck Finn. Dracula. Anna Karenina. Alice and the Rabbit. Frankenstein. And then there's Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. There are seven feature length films, eight TV adaptations, two plays, an opera, a ballet, and a Broadway musical. Now there's Lauren Gunderson's adaptation of Little Women, at Theatreworks in Mountain View through  October 12th. Little Women's ageless popularity rests, as the playwright notes, on its proto-feminism, its focus on family love, and being set during a time of strife and shortages and adds how appropriate it feels in our current times., though of course it also felt appropriate through its previous adaptations. That's what timelessness is about. And unlike Dickens or Austen, it's hard to pull out the plot and change time periods or genders. You're stuck in the Civil War, in New England, and with four specific daughters. Maybe the future will bring us Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth and Zombies, but hopefully not. In this adaptation, Louisa May Alcott tells the story and illuminates the relationship of her real family to the fictional Marches, with the dialogue and sometimes the book descriptions coming out of the characters' mouths. It's a neat touch, and perhaps only possible on stage. But, as with A Christmas Carol, we are still stuck with the same beats. Jo meets Laurie, Beth goes to the big house, Amy burns a manuscript, and so on. Louisa May Alcott never married, and it's possible we know why. She's not attracted to men. This production hints at this through particulars of the performance of Elissa Beth Stebbins as Louisa and Jo,  and by the lack of chemistry with both of Jo's suitors. Greta Gerwig saw the same issue in the 2019 film, and tackled it by making Jo the author of Little Women and hits the issue dead on. Lauren Gunderson, thugh, approaches it  more obliquely, but without a fuller explanation, the ending feels false. Louisa is Jo, until she's not. For the fans who jump at every new adaptation, this Little Women, if redundant, might add a new dimension. For the rest of us, enough is enough. Lauren Gunderson's adaptation of Little Women, directed by Giovanna Sardelli, plays at Theatreworks Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts through October 12, 2025.

Sotto gli alberi, immersi nel verde della piazzetta davanti al teatro di Rifredi, abbiamo parlato di tradimento, relazioni e narmatività con Luca Starita.L'incidente letterario in una relazione è spesso un lutto oppure un tradimento. Ma che cosa significa, e che cosa ha significato, tradire in letteratura? Partendo dai grandi romanzi ottocenteschi come Anna Karenina e Madame Bovary, passando per il disneyano "ed e Toby" fino ad arrivare ai giorni nostri per interrogarsi su che cosa sia oggi il tradimento.Questo quello che troverete in "Pensiero Stupendo - un saggio sul tradimento" di Luca Starita edito da effeq.Gli speciali "Felicità Metropolitane" sono organizzati dall'associazione La Nottola di minerva in collaborazione con Tram di Firenze Spa all'interno di #estatefiorentina2025 @cittadifirenze.culturaTi ricordiamo che puoi sostenere il nostro lavoro con SSTRF, che prevede organizzazione, studio, editing, grafica, scrittura testi, correzione di bozze, rifai tutto da capo, resisti alle intemperie… con una piccola donazione al nostro Ko-Fi

What truly makes Anna Karenina so significant—as an epitome of world literature—is that it is far more than a tale of love and tragedy. Tolstoy offers us a mirror of the common human condition and suffering—his characters are as alive today, with all their emotional turmoil, just as they were in the 19th century. Today, we're truly honored to welcome back Professor. Julia Titus from Yale University, to guide us into Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece Anna Karenina. Prof. Titus is the author of Dostoevsky as a Translator of Balzac (2022).  Recommended Reading:Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina (1878)Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (1899)This podcast is sponsored by Riverside, a professional conference platform for podcasting.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This novel is set in an interesting way, devoting chapters to Penelope and individual members of her family, but also to more secondary characters such as Antonia and Dannus (the bright spots). Each snapshot gives characters their own unique voice.The Shell Seekers by Rosamonde Pilcher has a dual timeline, WWII and present day which was 1987. Penelope's three children were a bit hard to take. Olivia seemed the most sensible, although loaded with the “I am woman hear me roar” vibe, at least she was not greedy like her siblings. Nancy and Noel were unlikeable and self-absorbed. Pilcher's writing is unique in that she uses the senses extremely well. Her ability to make readers hear the ticking clock, smell the food being served, hear bird's song, and even feel the importance of plants as a symbol of growth highlight the best parts of the book. Penelope did not have an easy life, her husband ran off with his secretary leaving Penelope the kids and his gambling debts to pay off. Penelope grew up in a loving and welcoming home with a famous artist for a father. Nancy and Noel are eager to sell the beloved painting of Lawrence Stern called The Shell Seekers. Penelope ponders to herself, “perhaps she had not expected enough of them.” “I have given them all I can and they always want more.” Pilcher painted a powerful picture of ingratitude in this novel.The first sentence of Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina is: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” The Shell Seekers shows the tension families have when wills collide. Won't you join us for the ride?

Eva Milella"La versione di Mati"Fandango Libriwww.fandangolibri.itMati, 11 anni, è stata cresciuta da sua madre Alba, psicoterapeuta anticonformista, a gallette al sorgo e audiolibri de La Recherche. Bandite televisione e merendine, sì allo yoga e alle verdure crude.Il loro rapporto simbiotico si interrompe quando Alba parte per un seminario e affida Mati alla nonna.La nonna, Antonia, detta Totti, bionda di capelli e di modi, campionessa di tacchi, passa il suo tempo tra apericena e feste di gala, ma il suo palcoscenico d'elezione è il Circolo: lì si esibisce nelle cose in cui più è portata – finti complimenti, circonvenzione di amministratore delegato e soprattutto il gioco del burraco.I burracchisti, si sa, vanno in coppia come colombi, e quando poco prima del più prestigioso torneo di burraco del Centro-Sud “l'amico” fidanzato di Totti, re dei maxillo, la lascia, Totti è disperata.Mati si ritroverà catapultata in un mondo di apparenze e rivalità sociali e, tra colpi di scena e rivelazioni, imparerà molto su se stessa e sulla sua famiglia.Questa è la versione dei fatti di Mati, ma, anche se è la storia di una famiglia non proprio perfetta, non verrà citato neanche di striscio l'incipit di Anna Karenina. È una promessa.Eva Milella, detta Milavagante, nata a Bari nel 1978, vive a Roma. Ha scritto e interpretato il format YouTube “MALAMAMMA”, dove, attraverso video ironici e dissacranti, spiega come sopravvivere ai figli.

Idén Szilágyi Ákos kapta az Artisjus Irodalmi Nagydíjat – Elvégre című verseskötete mellett teljes életműve elismeréseként. Így aztán több apropója is van a vele készült beszélgetésnek, amelyben fiatalkori lázadásról, közéletről, veszteségekről és Arany János iránt érzett rajongásáról is mesél. Utóbbi kapcsán kiderül, hogy tekinthető-e a most megjelent kötete a saját Őszikékjének, és az is, miért támadta meg pályája elején az akkor már sztárszerzőnek számító Weöres Sándort, és mit gondol erről fél évszázaddal később. A Buksó olvasókat bemutató Mit forgat? című rovatában Nyáry Krisztián Lovas Rozival, a Loupe Színházi Társulás egyik alapítójával beszélget, aki ritka kivételként rajongott a kötelező olvasmányokért, kifejezetten szerette az Egri csillagokat, de meghatározó élmény volt számára az Anna Karenina is. Kiderül, miért és mennyire figyelik kritikus szemmel férjével, Horváth János Antallal a kortárs gyerekirodalmat, és ajánl is néhány fontos könyvet a hallgatóknak.

The kidnap, murder and rape of Sarah Everard was deemed a moment of reckoning in 2021. The Angiolini Inquiry, which investigated this case, found that Wayne Couzens was reported eight times for indecent exposure. The report also found that the offence "may indicate a potential trajectory towards even more serious sexual and violent offending". A new report by The Telegraph has investigated cases of indecent exposure since Sarah Everard's murder and found that police are catching and prosecuting fewer offenders, despite a big increase in the number of offences reported. The paper's Home Affairs Editor, Charles Hymas, joins Nuala McGovern, as does Zoë Billingham, former HM Inspector of Constabulary.Natalie Dormer has graced our screens as Margaery Tyrell in Game of Thrones, Anne Boleyn in The Tudors and in films including The Hunger Games: Mockingjay and The Wasp. She's now back on stage as Anna in a new adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's epic novel Anna Karenina. Set in 19th century Russia, Anna is the wife of a powerful government official, who dares to step outside the bounds of society to risk a dangerous and destructive love affair. Natalie talks to Nuala about the role, her career and more.World fertility rates are in 'unprecedented decline' according to a survey of 14,000 people by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the UN's reproductive rights agency. One in five respondents said they haven't had – or don't expect they will have - the number of children they want. The survey spanned 14 countries on five continents, which are home to a third of the world's population. Nuala is joined by demographer Anna Rotkirch, who has researched fertility intentions in Europe and advises the Finnish government on population policy, to discuss the findings and their impact. Jessica Stanley's novel Consider Yourself Kissed tells the story of Coralie, a copywriter who moves from Australia to London just before she turns 30 and falls in love with political journalist Adam. Jessica tells Nuala about the book, which tracks 10 years of Coralie and Adam's lives from 2013 to 2023, taking in love, birth, illness and a particularly eventful period in British politics. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

Leo Tolstoy was a man of many lives—born into a rich Russian family, he gave up his wealth to live like a simple peasant. He wrote some of the greatest books ever, like War and Peace and Anna Karenina, but spent much of his life searching for deeper meaning. He fought in wars, struggled with faith, argued with his wife, and inspired the world with his bold ideas about peace, truth, and nonviolence. From being a nobleman to a barefoot wanderer, Tolstoy's life was a powerful drama filled with love, conflict, and deep spiritual awakening. This talk show from KiranPrabha dives into that incredible journey. This is Third/Last Part of 3 Parts series

It's Bank Holiday Monday, so let's take it easy and talk about some comics. After promising it early in the show's history, Charlie's finally read the first arc of IDW's Star Trek comic by Lanzig & Kelly. Look, we're Casual Trek, this is the level of service you get from us.The first arc, “Godshock” features that classic Star Trek concept: thumbing your teeth at god, only this time it's a bad thing as someone's killing gigantic cosmic entities! Who did this and how can it be stopped? Well, Ben Sisko's back from his time as a cosmic entity to find out, with an almost all-star cast of people from throughout Star Trek History. There's Data and Dr Crusher from TNG, Paris from Voyager, Scotty from TOS and Jake Sisko is also there. Worf guest stars for long enough to be a bad parent and back door pilot for another series, and there are a couple of new characters who are a lot of fun.Join us on the USS Theseus and prepare for a lot of tangents, as we both love talking comics.References: The Super Stalag of Space, Harry 20 on the High Rock, Dan Dare, Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation Squared, Quatermass and the Pit, The Legion of Super-Heroes, The Legion Clubhouse, comic collection sizes, YES Charlie has put rolled-up Walking Dead volumes in his back pocket, the Bendis New Avengers approach to team-building, Billy Pilgrim, The Krakoan Age of X-Men, Marvel Swimsuit Specials (which are coming back), release a Star Trek Swimsuit Special you cowards!, Data pages vs data pages, Gilmore Girls spoiled Anna Karenina for me, Charlie's Super Mario Quest 2025, the Summers family tree, the Dark Horse Buffy Series, Marvel's Star Wars, Dr Who comics, the Energon Universe, the CLZ collector's app, Malibu Comics' Star Trek… Oh, and sometimes IDW's Star Trek.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by Director Lovell Holder & Writer-Performer Roger Q. Mason, the duo behind the provocative and beautifully-crafted new film Lavender Men, which is based on Mason's hit stage play of the same name. The story centers on Taffeta (they/them, played by Mason), the put-upon stage manager of a play about Abraham Lincoln. After one too many backstage indignities, Tafetta cracks and decides to take the whole show over and narrate it as their fantasia and things get wild from there. Roger talks about the film's central themes of why do we, as humans, like what we like and the gulf that often exists between what we desire and what we need. Lovell talks about using the films Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina as touchstones while making the piece, the day during the shoot when he ran out of steam and ideas and meeting Roger when then were both in their late teens. They both talk about working with the editor Morgan Halsey whose father Richard Halsey happened to speak at a screening of American Gigolo that Dennis saw on the very same day that he did this interview. Other topics include: eating an entire apple pie on stage, Mason refusing to take a nap during naptime at the YMCA as a child, the friends that pitched in to make the movie happen and Roger's belief that, "It's never easy to tell the truth in a world that capitalizes on lies and illusion."

Introduction

In this powerful episode of What We Can't Not Talk About, host Marianna Orlandi welcomes Dr. Anna Bonta Moreland, theologian and professor at Villanova University, to explore the radical, uncomfortable, and ultimately redemptive virtue of forgiveness. Drawing on the character of Dolly from Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Dr. Moreland shows how literature and theology—especially the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas—can illuminate what it really means to love sacrificially and forgive heroically. In a world torn between cancel culture and moral relativism, Dr. Moreland argues that forgiveness is not weakness but a virtue rooted in charity. Through Dolly's example and Aquinas' thought, listeners are invited to reflect on whether perfection in love is required, and what it means to love and forgive like Christ—even when it hurts.

In this episode of Athletistry: Ballet Evolution, Shane Wuerthner dives deep into the misunderstood world of artistry in ballet—what it is, how it develops, and why telling dancers to “show more artistry” is often unhelpful and misdirected.Shane unpacks his personal journey with artistic growth, shares insights from his time dancing Vronski in Anna Karenina, and breaks down how life experience, emotional maturity, and mentorship shape an artist over time.

Why do we get bored? And what exactly happens to us when we experience boredom?  Like joy and anxiety, boredom is a state of mind. Being bored does not mean you’re lazy and it has little to do with external factors like new cars, gadgets, or experiences. James Danckert, professor of psychology and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Area at the University of Waterloo, has been studying why we get bored. He studies the reasons behind why boredom occurs, alongside the effects that boredom can have on our minds and the larger purpose that it can serve. Danckert says, “people confuse boredom with the couch potato, some sort of  laziness and inaction, but it can't be further from the truth. When we're bored, we're really quite motivated and we want to be doing something… we just can't figure out what.” The definition that Danckert feels perfectly captures what boredom is comes from Leo Tolstoy in Anna Karenina. Tolstoy describes boredom as “the desire for desires.” And regardless of how active or engaged a person is, the feelings of boredom are familiar to most as a “restless, agitated experience.” “The key,” Danckert says, “is to recognize those signs early on, to calm down, and think of some options out of it … You need to let the little things that normally would bore you suddenly thrill you.” And Danckert says that “boredom is often associated with a lack of meaning.” What we feel is that, “what you're doing is not meaningful, or your life doesn't feel quite meaningful to you and that's going to be a key component of being bored.” “To ensure that you don't get bored,” Danckert says, “you don't have to start pursuing a cure for cancer, you don't have to do anything grand, you don't have to choose an activity that somehow is momentous — you just have to choose something that matters to you, and that could be big [or] small.” Kids most often associate boredom with having nothing to do, but Danckert says there is a good deal of work to suggest that “we have over-scheduled our kids and that makes them more anxious than you might imagine.” “Kids need their downtime,” Danckert says. When we overschedule them, we are “taking away their agency.”  Danckert also suggests that parents do too much: “When kids come to us and they say that they're bored, are we doing the right thing in terms of responding to that? Of course, you don't want to give them full control because they're kids, they'll make big mistakes, and you want to have some safety net around them. But over-scheduling is not a solution to boredom.” Danckert also highlights the fact that boredom can be the root of many maladaptive behaviors: “There's lots and lots of instances where aggressive, violent, and abhorrent behaviors are blamed on boredom. But I would suggest that we can't really blame boredom for those kinds of things. I think boredom is a call to action. We have to take ownership of what actions we choose in response to boredom.”  People who are prone to boredom,” Danckert says, “are also a little bit lower in self-control. They don't have great control over their actions and their emotions, and so those people might be more likely to choose those kinds of maladaptive and abhorrent responses.” “Boredom isn't likely to make you a genius sculptor, painter, or guitar player any more than it's likely to turn you into a killer. So what we do with boredom is really up to us.”    Ultimately the feeling of boredom is a call to action, it highlights a need to be agentic. What we decide to do when we feel this way is ultimately up to us, but a tip that Danckert offers is to find the little things that matter: “Celebrate those little things and engage with them with intentionality.” Delve deeper into life, philosophy, and what makes us human by joining the Life Examined discussion group on Facebook.
