Humanities Winter Weekend, Tolstoy's Anna Karenina

Tolstoy's Anna Karenina

The new translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky

March 7-8, 2003
Bowdoin College, Brunswick

An interdisciplinary symposium on one of the 19th century's greatest novels, with special attention to small group discussion of the text.

Anna Karenina tells two stories: the tragedy of a woman trapped in an unfulfilling marriage who takes a lover, and the happier story of an unfulfilled man who discovers the meaning of his life in the very soil of Russia. Questions of duty, family, personal freedom, and social reform are set against a brilliant panorama of Russian society in the 1870s.

Registration ($200 per person) includes tuition, the book, other materials, dinner, breakfast, lunch, reception, and a contribution to the Council. A limited number of scholarships are available to Maine high school students.

To register, please call (207) 773-5051 or download this registration form, its a Word document (about 25K).

As in previous years, the Winter Weekend is a fundraiser which supports the Council's summer programs for at-risk youth.
