		Natasha did not reply, nor did she sob any longer, but she grew cold and had a shivering fit.
		Pierre had been avoiding Natasha because it seemed to him that his feeling for her was stronger than a married man's should be for his friend's fiancee.
		He did not know that Natasha's soul was overflowing with despair, shame, and humiliation, and that it was not her fault that her face happened to assume an expression of calm dignity and severity.

		Natasha, who was computer literate and inquisitive by nature, experimented with meeting foreign men through the Internet, a new craze that was sweeping through the crumbling Russian empire on the back of the explosion of Internet access.
		Natasha had fallen in love with a divorced man of her own age, a talented but troubled artist who had literally nothing - a man of great sensitivity, near collapse under the stress of the ongoing economic crisis.

	Debutante Dance in ZhurnalWiki
		Turning to Natasha, he started to put his arm around her waist before he had completed his invitation to her to dance.
		Natasha's face, with its tremulous expression, looking as if she were on the brink of rapture or despair, instantly lighted up with a joyous, grateful, childlike smile.
		She was in that heightened state of bliss when one becomes wholly good and kind and cannot believe in the possibility of evil, unhappiness, or sorrow.

	War and Peace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		We learn too of the Moscow Rostov family, with four adolescent children, of whom the vivacious younger daughter Natalya Rostova ("Natasha") and impetuous older Nikolai Rostov are the most memorable.
		Andrey, who was also in love with Natasha, is wounded during Napoleon's invasion and eventually dies after being reunited with Natasha before the end of the war.
		By the time Bondarchuk made this film, the flawless image of Natasha as created by Audrey Hepburn had achieved an almost iconic status among Western audiences, and it was therefore a challenge for the director to select an actress for this role.

		He was thinking of Prince Andrew, of Natasha, and of their love, at one moment jealous of her past, then reproaching himself for that feeling.
		Though Princess Mary and Natasha were evidently glad to see their visitor and though all Pierre's interest was now centered in that house, by the evening they had talked over everything and the conversation passed from one trivial topic to another and repeatedly broke off.
		She was going to say that to speak of love was impossible, but she stopped because she had seen by the sudden change in Natasha two days before that she would not only not be hurt if Pierre spoke of his love, but that it was the very thing she wished for.

	Natasha
		Natasha was her name, but then in the crumbling Russian Empire there are so many Natashas, that the name, ennobled by Tolstoy’s Natasha Rostova in War and Peace, has today become synonymous with girls of easy virtue.
		Natasha married at an early age and embarked upon a secure and standard married life with her husband.
		Natasha had fallen in love with a man of her own age, a talented but troubled artist who had literally nothing - a man of great sensitivity, near collapse under the stress of the ongoing economic crisis.

	GB-Russia Society Journals
		The book's title derives from the scene in Tolstoy's War and Peace (Book Two, Part 4, Chapter 7), in which Natasha Rostova joins in a folk dance with such instinctive ease and naturalness that the fact that she is a member of the aristocracy, brought up by a French governess, is immediately forgotten.
		Natasha's Dance is a beautifully presented and very tactile book - quite a consideration in this technological age; it has an appearance and feel that invite you to open it and explore its contents.
		Natasha's Dance does not solve the enigma of the Russian character, but for those who wish to seek to understand the complexities and paradoxes of Russia and its people, it will do much to illuminate the dark and dusty corners of ignorance and prejudice.

		Tolstoy vividly depicts the contrast between Napoleon and the Russian general Kutuzov, both in terms of personality and in the clash of armies.
		Audrey Hepburn is considered perfect as Natasha, but Henry Fonda is too "Yankeefied" as the introspective Pierre.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Grand Delusions
		With penetrating glances, Epstein conveys the other-worldliness that enables Maria to be the one character who does not feel constrained by her limited role in life or in the sparsely written play.
		While Kirwan's impetuosity seems appropriate for the romantic 17-year old girl she is at the beginning, her emotions are too wild for the older, sincerely repentant woman who later begs Andrei for forgiveness.
		Jumping from the battlefield to Andrei's death to Natasha's marriage with Pierre, the play loses its sense of drama and becomes a mere chronicle of events.

	War and Peace and Anna N
		One of the dramaturgical weaknesses of the opera is the seemingly instantaneous and unexplained defection of Natasha from her fiancé to this sleazeball, but Oleg’s portrayal helped to make the case, at least vocally.
		“Natasha,” Tolstoy wrote, “saw only the painted cardboard and the oddly dressed men and women who moved, spoke and sang so strangely in that brilliant light.
		She knew what it all was supposed to represent, but it was so blatantly false and unnatural that she felt alternately ashamed for the actors and amused by them.” Yet she is eventually engulfed, and Anatol can move in on the hypnotized beauty and claim her.

	'War and Peace' Premieres For Blair
		The first seven "peace" scenes focus on the love between Prince Andrei Bolkonsky and the volatile young Natasha Rostova, while the others deal with the military clash, finally reuniting Natasha and the dying Andrei in the penultimate scene.
		He seemed to derive equal inspiration from the melodic lyricism of Andrei's love for Natasha and the raw excitement of the war scenes.
		Gone was the scene in which the ne'er-do-well Anatol prepares to abduct Natasha and, even more serious, the Council of War scene in which the fate of Moscow is debated and Field Marshall Kutuzov performs his great aria — a musical pillar of the second half.

		She had grown up in Kyiv and spent her teenage and student years during the seventies inside the bosom of the Soviet empire, when life was simple, ordered and conventional.
		She found she was very attracted by the unostentatious ease and comfort of the Dutch way of life, the expensive and luxurious town flat that Albert lived in, the bright cafes, the colourful supermarkets, and the friendly Dutch people.
		And under a lowering winter sky, the crowds in the city mingled in confusion, shame and horror at their uncertain future - and yet in their hearts shone the bright flame of freedom.

		Rostova is definitely one of Black Lace's most talented female authors of erotic fiction for todayÕs woman Éand for some adventurous men too.
		Rostova's Black Lace titles since her first novel and I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Naked Truth.
		Rostova's contemporary characters are very well-written and 'alive' with many unique personality quirks that make them all the more human and interesting.

		He advances this claim in a vignette in "War and Peace" describing the visit of Natasha Rostova (a "slim, graceful countess, reared in silks and velvets") to her eccentric "Uncle" and his unofficial peasant wife.
		During her visit, Natasha is swept away by the rhythms of an unfamiliar Russian folk song.
		Unconsciously, she commences dancing with the "spirit and the movements," which were "the inimitable and unteachable Russian ones" that her uncle had expected of her.

	Natasha's Dance - Orlando Figes - Penguin UK
		As Peter conceived it, to become a citizen of Petersburg was to leave behind the 'dark' and 'backward' customs of the Russian past in Moscow and to enter, as a European Russian, in the modern western world of progress and enlightenment.
		Natasha's Dance has been a labour of love; but it's also been a tempestuous affair, which nearly ended in divorce.
		Readers should watch out for the saga of the Sheremetev and Volkonsky clans, and for leitmotifs like St Petersburg, the icon or the horse: they are intended to suggest the rich and complex symbols and emotions of this cultural tradition.

		Though far too old for the part, Hepburn is at her most waifish and comes off rather better than Fonda and Ferrer (then her off-screen husband).
		The latter in particular is stiff and unlikeable; beyond his wavy hair and a flashy uniform, it's hard to see what young Natasha would see in him.
		One is a bright splotch in the middle of the screen that runs throughout the sequence when Natasha meets Kuragin at the opera, and the second is a light vertical stripe during the wolf hunt sequence.

		She drew the Countess's large hand to her, kissed the back of it, then the palm, then turned it over again and began kissing first one knuckle, then the space between the knuckles, then the next knuckle, whispering: "January, February, March, April, May.
		Perhaps not as intuitive as the method you learned, but it lets you use the index finger of the right hand to keep track of where you are, remembering to double-tap the little finger knuckle.
		But the single-hand-reversal method that you describe doesn't get Leo off the hook: as he tells it, Natasha transitions from one of her mother's hands to the other between June and July.

		Natasha Rostova's Captivation is one of my all-time favorite Black Lace books and I couldn't wait to read another one of her succulent novels.
		Natasha Rostova is in the same rank as Emma Holly and Portia Da Costa.
		I especially liked the friendship among all the women, and the pan-sexual nature of the stories -- the writing is excellent, the characters interesting, and (as usual for N. Rostova), the sex is hot, varied, and satisfying.
