Anna Karenina (part 1)
About This Novel
This book is the second monumental novel by the great writer Tolstoy. The protagonist Anna is an upper-class lady. She is young and beautiful, pursuing individual liberation and freedom of love, while her husband is a "bureaucratic machine" with an indifferent temperament. A chance encounter with a young military officer made Anna fall in love, and she resolutely left her husband and children to live with her sweetheart. But the longing for her son and the pressure from the surrounding environment made her fall into pain and uneasiness, and she gradually discovered that the sweetheart around her was not an ideal lover with single-minded affection. After experiencing a series of blows such as the loss of her son and a love change, Anna found that she could no longer live in this hypocritical society. In despair, she chose to commit suicide by lying on the train. The novel profoundly exposes the ugliness and hypocrisy of the Russian upper class in the 1860s and 1970s. It also expresses the author's moral and ideological exploration during the period of social transformation.
