Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Published in serial installments between 1873 and 1877, Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is frequently hailed as the greatest novel ever written. Renowned author William Faulkner famously described it as "the best ever written," and his sentiment is shared by generations of readers.

The epic masterpiece opens with one of the most iconic lines in world literature: "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century high-society Russia, the novel is an expansive, dual-narrative epic that contrasts two starkly different love stories.

The Downward Spiral: Anna and Vronsky

Anna Karenina is a beautiful, highly sophisticated, and widely admired aristocrat trapped in a passionless marriage to Alexei Karenin, a cold and rigid government official. While visiting Moscow to help mend her brother Stiva’s broken marriage, Anna meets Count Alexei Vronsky, a dashing, wealthy cavalry officer.

The spark between them is instantaneous and consuming. Despite the devastating social consequences in Imperial Russia, Anna surrenders to the affair. She leaves her husband and young son to build a life with Vronsky, but she is quickly cast out of polite society. Plagued by extreme isolation, crushing jealousy, and intense societal condemnation, Anna's mental state slowly unravels into tragedy.
