Anna Karenina (Dole Translation)

Anna Karenina (Dole translation)

by Leo Tolstoy

Anna Karenina is a complex and enduring novel exploring themes of love, societal constraints, and the search for meaning in life. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Russian society, the story follows two intertwined narratives. Anna, a married woman, finds herself drawn to a passionate affair with Count Vronsky, a handsome and charismatic officer. This forbidden love ignites a whirlwind of social scandal and ultimately leads to tragic consequences. Meanwhile, Levin, a young man struggling with questions of faith and purpose, navigates his own journey of love and self-discovery, culminating in a deeply personal and spiritual search for meaning. Through these parallel stories, Tolstoy examines the complexities of human relationships, the societal pressures of the time, and the eternal quest for fulfillment.
