Outliers: The Story of Success
In this stunning new book Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers"--the best and the brightest the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like and too little attention to where they are from: that is their culture their family their generation and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires what it takes to be a great soccer player why Asians are good at math and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.

ANNA KARENINA (non illustrated)
Summary of Parts 1-6
Part 1:A crisis develops in the Oblonsky household when Dolly finds out about her husband's affair. Stiva's sister Anna Karenina arrives to reconcile the couple and dissuades Dolly from getting a divorce. Konstantin Levin Stiva's friend arrives in Moscow to propose to the eighteen year old Kitty Shtcherbatsky. She refuses him for she loves Count Vronsky a dashing army officer who has no intentions of marrying.Meeting the lovely Madame Karenina Vronsky falls in love and begins to pursue her. He and Anna are so involved with each other at the grand ball that Kitty's hopes for Vronsky are shattered. Anna followed by Vronsky returns to her husband and son in St. Petersburg while the disappointed Levin returns to his country estate.
Part 2:Kitty falls ill after her humiliating rejection by Vronsky. At the German spa where she takes a rest cure she tries to deny her womanly nature by becoming a religious do-gooder. Realizing the hypocrisy of this new calling Kitty returns to Russia cured of her depression and ready to accept her ultimate wifehood.
Consummating her union with Vronsky Anna steps into a new life with much foreboding for the future. By the time she confesses her adultery to the suspecting Karenin she is already pregnant with Vronsky's child.
Part 3:Devoting himself to farming Levin tries to find life meaningful without marriage. He expends his energies in devising a cooperative landholding system with his peasants to make the best use of the land. Seeing his brother Nicolai hopelessly ill with tuberculosis he realizes he has been working to avoid facing the problem of death. He also realizes he will always love Kitty.
Vronsky's career ambitions rival his love and as he has not chosen between them he is still uncommitted to Anna. Having rejected her husband but still unable to depend on Vronsky Anna finds her situation desperate. Her life is in a state of suspension.
Part 4:Kitty and Levin are engaged to marry. Karenin who has tried to maintain appearances of domestic tranquillity finally builds up enough anger to hire a divorce lawyer. Anna is confined of a daughter but dangerously ill from puerperal fever. At her deathbed Karenin forgives her and feels sanctified by this surge of humanity and Christian charity. At this sudden reversal of their roles Vronsky feels so humiliated he attempts suicide. These incidents form the turning point of the novel. After Anna's recovery the lovers go abroad and Anna refuses divorce (though Karenin agrees to it) for fear of giving up her son.
Part 5:Levin and Kitty after some initial difficulties adjust to being married. Nicolai's death affects Levin deeply and he realizes that emotional commitment not reason enables one to overcome life's problems. As if to underscore his life-affirmation they learn Kitty is pregnant.After they honeymoon in Italy Anna and Vronsky return to Petersburg. Violently affected from seeing her son again Anna's love for Vronsky becomes more desperate now that she has no one else. Despite his objections she boldly attends the theater as if to affirm her love before conventional society. Humiliated at the opera she blames Vronsky for lacking sympathy with her suffering while he is angry at her indiscretion. This keynotes the decline of their relationship although it is temporarily restored as they go to live in the country.
Part 6:Among Levin's summer visitors is a socialite who pays so much attention to Kitty that Levin asks him to leave. Visiting Anna at Vronsky's estate Dolly finds her own drab life preferable to the formal luxury and decadence of Anna's. Complaining that Vronsky is eager for independence Anna tells Dolly she must rely on her beauty and her love to keep his interest. Vronsky feels especially burdened by the demands of Anna's love when she calls him home from a refreshing political convention. (non illustrated)
