I am Carenina

Author: Leo Tolstoy Publication date: 2024 Book classification: Short story and novel Publisher: Al-Rafidain for Printing, Publishing, and Distribution Number of pages: 839 Cover type: Paperback Book overview: Anna Karenina Described by William Faulkner as "the best novel ever written," and by Fyodor Dostoevsky as "a flawless novel," "Anna Karenina" tells about the doomed love affair between "Anna," the sensual and rebellious woman, and the broken officer "Count Vronsky." The tragedy unfolds when "Anna" refuses her non-emotional marriage and thus exposes herself to societal hypocrisy. We are faced with a wide, richly woven and decorated tapestry of 19th-century Russia, where the seven main characters in the novel create a dynamic imbalance, playing roles that contrast city and countryside life within the framework of love and family drama.
