About This Novel
"Anna Karenina" is a representative novel by Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. The work tells the story of Anna, an aristocratic woman, who pursues love and happiness, but suffers a bloody blow in the face of Karenin's hypocrisy and Vronsky's indifference and selfishness, and ultimately ends up committing suicide by lying on a train. The manor owner Levin opposed the private ownership of land and sympathized with the poor farmers, but he was caught in the contradiction between ideal and reality because of his aristocratic status. Through the "arch bridge" double-line narrative of Anna and Levin, Tolstoy provides us with an in-depth analysis of the human trials and moral choices faced by different people in the process of pursuing happiness. As stated at the beginning: "Happy families are all similar, and unhappy families have their own misfortunes." Dostoyevsky believed that "this is a perfect artistic masterpiece, and there is nothing similar in modern European literature that can compare with it." This translation is fluent and concise and is a benchmark for Chinese translations.
