Book Description |
| Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is a sweeping novel of love, passion, and tragedy set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russian society. The story follows the beautiful and sophisticated Anna, who is trapped in a loveless marriage but finds herself drawn into a passionate and ultimately doomed affair with the dashing Count Vronsky. As Anna’s choices lead her down a path of social exile and emotional turmoil, the novel also explores the contrasting life of Konstantin Levin, a landowner searching for meaning and fulfillment in rural life. With its deep psychological insight, complex characters, and themes of love, morality, and fate, Anna Karenina remains one of the greatest works of world literature. |
About Author |
| Leo Tolstoy |
| Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was a Russian novelist, philosopher, and social reformer, best known for his epic novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). Born into an aristocratic family, Tolstoy initially lived a life of privilege, but his experiences in the military and his personal search for meaning led him to embrace a more humble, spiritual existence. Throughout his life, he grappled with issues of morality, non-violence, and the role of religion in daily life. His later works, including The Kingdom of God Is Within You and Confession, reflect his pacifist beliefs and commitment to Christian anarchism. Tolstoy’s influence extends beyond literature, impacting philosophy, social thought, and movements for nonviolent resistance, inspiring figures like Mahatma Gandhi. |
