Anna Karenina (tolstoy's Trilogy)
by O
About This Novel
"Anna Karenina" is the pinnacle of Leo Tolstoy's three novels. Anna abandoned her family, wealth, and social status for the one she loved, openly challenging worldly conventions. When the love she had gained through all her efforts gradually cooled down, Anna finally died in despair. Tolstoy tears away the outer covering of love fairy tales and lets us see its fragile core - the purer the love, the less it can withstand the burden of reality. Similar to Anna, Levin, the other protagonist in the story, is also a person who deviates from the norm. As a landowner, he lives a comfortable life and has a happy family, but he lives in panic. He hoped to change the miserable living conditions of farmers and conducted various explorations and experiments, but all ended in failure. He looked inward for the meaning of his existence, but could only see nothingness and absurdity. Through Anna's love tragedy and Levin's spiritual crisis, the work reflects the shaken traditional values and social customs during the transition period when "everything is turned upside down", as well as the confusion and anxiety this turmoil brings to individuals.
