Anna Karenina

"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." In Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy weaves a sweeping tale of passion, duty, and desire in imperial Russia. At the heart is Anna, a married woman who risks everything for a consuming love that defies social norms. Her story unfolds alongside that of Levin, a man in search of moral clarity and meaning. Tolstoy masterfully explores the tension between individual happiness and societal expectations, creating an unforgettable portrait of human emotion, set against the grandeur and hypocrisy of 19th-century Russian aristocracy.
