The second half of the complete text of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is rendered as a single image. The lines containing the word “Anna” are highlighted in red. Reading order: top to bottom, left to right.
Full resolution image is 92800 pixels × 12000 pixels. It will be made available to the owner of the item.
I will use money generated from any sales to hire a graphic designer to design my next book - the complete book will be available online.
Data: The text of Lev Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. English translation: Constance Garnett. Words: 351,000. Lines: 43,200.
The novel was published in serial installments from 1873 to 1877 in the periodical The Russian Messenger. These visualizations are inspired by a common reading practice of underlining important lines and passages in a text using magic markers. I wrote a program that reads the text from a file and renders it as columns running from top to bottom and from left to right as a single image. It also checks whether text lines contain particular words and highlights the found matches. In some versions, the actual text of the novel is rendered; in others, the lines are shown as filled in rectangles. The lines that contain particular words such as "Anna" and "Vronsky" are highlighted in red.
This project was created in 2009-2010.
