So Anna falls madly in love of a dashing officer, Count Vronsky, and his life changes, set his world is shattered when she displays her passion to light. We then saw their tumultuous love, quarrels and reconciliations of the two lovers, the indignant reactions of the good society, which is very tolerant of adventures provided which are discrete, and the dramatic end of this passion, which navait not dissue. In the wake Danna and Vronsky, Levin is meeting young man tormented by philosophical questions and the love that he bears the delicious Kitty. There are also Dolly's sister Kitty, married to Stepan Arkadievitch the Danna brother, husband fickle and lazy, which didnt have much interest for his boring wife. In this absolutely stunning novel, Tolstoy tells us all facets of the relationship between a man and a woman, through all these couples, in such a captivating style lon has the impression to know them intimately and be part of this society. But "Anna Karenina" is much more than an novel of love and passion: this is also a portrait of Russian high society in the late 19th century, with the fundamental issues that lagitent, and the first of the great upheaval to come. There are pages that remain etched in your head long after reading them: the Danna meet and Vronsky on a train platform, a night at Kitty Levin admits that he always loved, mowing of a field in the countryside, childbirth still upset over the father's mother (an amazing story!) and of course, the tragic fate Danna, on the dock dune another station, and you hugged heart. One might fear that this novel is dated: it is nen anything. "Anna Karenina" is still incredibly contemporary. The reading is easy, punctuated by short chapters, feelings, torments, hopes characters are ours, and after 980 pages, we leave them to regret; but they are now part of our life, unforgettable.
