Anastasia

I've finished reading a book called "Anastasia", which I ordered at a library almost a year ago.
It must be a well popular book; I had to wait for such a long time.

The story is about a lady called Anastasia, who lives in taiga, Siberia, having no possession at all.
She lives alone, but is able to communicate with nature things such as wild animals, and eats stuff like nuts and berries each day.
She knows about what the universe is like by connecting with Mother Earth.

I was really thrilled to read this book!

Oh, Eri, the book is worth reading!
I just gave this book as a present to the owner of the piano "Shion". :-)

I think the world would come when we do whatever we like to do without worrying about how to earn money.
Music is really wonderful; that's the food for our hearts!

Yep! The day might come when we meet at a concert. :-)

This book sounds very interesting.
Anastatis is very popular name in Rossia, from the public to the aristocracy we can see that name.
It's a very beautiful name, isn't it?

I hope my daughter continue her playing flute.
Thank you for your word to my daughter.

I wish I listen to your piano one day, the world is small I may have that day.

Hi arie!

Thanks much for your comments. :-)
So the word "Anastasia" came from "the resurrection"? How intriguing!!!
I checked on the matter on the net and found that one of the ladies was DNA nagative, so she wasn't resuscitated Anastasia after all.
But there were still three ladies left...
Oh, I love this kind of mysterious story!

Hi, Carrie!

It's really uncanny that a couple of ladies appeared and confessed after the execution of Anastasia that they were resuscitated Anastasias.
I'm not sure whether it was a historical fact, but there must a deep-rooted belief in the resurrection among people of all times.
The word 'Anastasia' itself has the origin of 'the resurrection' in Greek, just for your reference.
Have a nice evening.
See you later.

GM arie!

Wow! What compelling (thanks for the word!) comments you posted here.
So the four Russian ladies could be the ghost?
I'd love to read what's written in your dictionary!

Hi, Carrie!

According to my dictionary, four Russian ladies appeared and made a confession that they were Anastasia a couple of months after she was executed.
She must be one of the princesses who was incarnated as Anastasia.
Truth to tell, I don't really know much about incarnation, but there must be some Anastasias who are wandering in the heaven.
See you later.

GM arie!

Thanks a big one for your comments. :-)
Oh, arie, Anastasia is now living in taiga, so I'm afraid it's not the one you mentioned.
She could be the incarnation of the tragic heroine in the Bolshevik Revolution, though.

The book was published last year; the title is アナスタシア in Japanese.
Maybe I put wrong translation of her name...

The writer of the book met Anastasia in 2005. I'd love to meet her too!

Hi, Carrie!

Thanks a bunch for posting your comments about the book 'Anastasia.'
To be honest, I haven't read the book, but I can guess what the story is all about thanks to some of the descriptions about her in my dictionaries.
She must have been what is called a tragic heroine who was killed in the Bolshevik Revolution.

I believe the book is unputdownable and you can finish reading the book at a stretch.
