</font></p>
<p><br>

<p><font size="+1">For those of you seeking a summer escape from
whatever, if you have one or more devices that can present
Amazon.com Kindle text and Audible.com audio books, Amazon.com
has the Constance Garnett translation of Anna Karenina available
for free, and, for those who have the Kindle edition, Audible.com
will release on Tuesday, the 12th of this month, an audio book
version performed by Maggie Gyllenhaal for $1.99 (or 1 credit).
(Given the monetary value of a credit, paying $1.99 is the
penurious purchase.) The time length of the audio performance
is 35 hours and 40 minutes, so multiple listening sessions may
well be in order to enjoy this presentation, and that, I
suppose, is the point.</font></p>

<p>P.S.: Yes, there have been other audio performances of Anna
Karenina in recent years. This one is new, so Maggie Gyllenhaal
has an opportunity to capture listeners' hearts and imaginations.
