Summary
Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy: Anna Karenina
Anna Karenina is a cult story about love and adultery, which takes place in the milieu of the high society of Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The rich and complex masterpiece depicts the sinister course of the love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count Vronsky, a wealthy military officer. Tolstoy interweaves the lives of dozens of characters and thus portrays Russian society in the late 19th century.
M. Arnold wrote in his famous "Essay on Tolstoy": "We do not take Anna Karenina as a work of art, we take it as a piece of life."
