About This Novel
"Anna Karenina" is a novel written by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy and is also his representative work. The work tells the story of Anna, an aristocratic woman, who pursues love and happiness, but is defeated by Karenin's hypocrisy and Vronsky's indifference and selfishness. She eventually ends up committing suicide by lying on a train and leaving her body in a station. The manor owner Levin opposed the private ownership of land, resisted the capitalist system, and sympathized with the poor peasants, but he could not get rid of the aristocratic habits and fell into an inextricable contradiction. Contradictory periods, contradictory systems, contradictory characters, and contradictory psychology make the whole book bump in the whirlpool of contradictions. Dostoyevsky commented that "this is a perfect artistic masterpiece, and there is nothing similar in modern European literature that can compare with it." The heroine in the book, Anna Karenina, has become one of the most graceful and plump female images in the history of world literature. Cao Ying, a literary translator, has single-handedly accomplished the feat of translating all of Leo Tolstoy's novels. The translation is famous for its concise, bright, smooth and easy-to-read text.
