Title : Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy - Book
Summary :
"Happy families are all alike; unhappy families are each unhappy in their own way." Thus opens this great novel about couples, passionate love, and temptation. Anna Karenina is a young and beautiful woman of the Russian nobility. While traveling to Moscow to see her brother, whose infidelity has been revealed, she falls under the spell of the brilliant but frivolous Count Vronsky. It is the birth of a passion. She considers abandoning husband and child. But what would polite society say? How far can this forbidden affair lead? A helpless witness to their romance, Kitty, who secretly loves Vronsky, refuses the hand of Levin, whom she has known since childhood. A satire of the mores of her time, Anna Karenina (1878) denounces the shackles of social conventions in a dazzling social fresco. Tolstoy seems to ask this simple question: is commitment to a couple also a dispossession of oneself?
