Anna Karenina (Dole translation)
by Leo Tolstoy
'Anna Karenina (Dole translation)' Summary
Anna Karenina, a married woman living a life of social obligation and superficiality, finds herself inexplicably drawn to the dashing Count Vronsky. Their intense love affair, however, shatters the conventions of Russian society and sets in motion a chain of events that lead to both personal and societal turmoil. Driven by her desires, Anna defies the expectations of her social circle and embarks on a passionate, yet ultimately doomed, path with Vronsky. Meanwhile, Levin, a man grappling with questions of faith, purpose, and social responsibility, searches for meaning and happiness in a world he finds both alluring and frustrating. His journey leads him to a spiritual awakening and a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of life. Both Anna and Levin experience profound joys and devastating heartbreaks as they struggle to reconcile their desires with their obligations and find their place in a world where societal expectations and personal yearnings often clash. Tolstoy's masterful storytelling weaves together themes of love, passion, social constraints, faith, and the enduring quest for meaning in a world rife with contradictions.Book Details
