Ana Karenjina

Ana Karenjina

Lav Nikolajevič Tolstoj

As one of Tolstoy's greatest novels, the work combines psychological depth, realistic depiction of society, and philosophical themes. Anna is a literary icon, and the novel is a bridge between early realism and later moral reflections.

In 19th-century Russia, Anna Karenina, the beautiful and respected wife of high-ranking official Alexei Karenin, lives a seemingly perfect life. But a passionate affair with a young officer, Vronsky, changes everything. Anna Karenina (1875-1877), Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy’s masterpiece, explores love, morality, and social norms.

Anna, trapped in a cold marriage, succumbs to her love for Vronsky. Their affair causes a scandal, and Anna abandons her husband and son, facing societal condemnation. As she struggles with jealousy and despair, her life descends into chaos. Vronsky, though in love, cannot satisfy her need for security. In parallel, the story follows Levin, a nobleman who searches for meaning in village life and his love for Kitty. His search for spiritual balance contrasts with Anna’s tragic fate. While Anna slides toward despair, Levin finds peace in family and faith.

The novel ends tragically for Anna, whose death symbolizes the impossibility of reconciling passion and social expectations. Levin, on the other hand, reveals a deeper meaning through simplicity and spirituality. Anna Karenina explores love, guilt, and the search for happiness, criticizing the hypocrisy of aristocracy and patriarchal norms.

As one of Tolstoy's greatest novels, the work combines psychological depth, realistic depiction of society, and philosophical themes. Praised for its style and complexity of characters, the novel gained immediate fame, although some criticized it for its length. Today, it is a masterpiece of world literature.
