This is Leo Tolstoy's second GREAT major novel. It is the story of a tragic adulterous love. Anna meets and falls in love with Aleksei Vronski, a handsome young officer. She abandons her child and husband just to be with Vronski. When she thinks that Vronski has tired of her, she kills herself by leaping under a train. The idea for the story reputedly came to Tolstoy after he had viewed the body of a young woman who committed a similar suicide. In the novel, a subplot concerns the contrasting happy marriage of Konstantin Levin and his young wife Kitty. Levin's search for meaning in his life and his love for a natural, simple existence on his estate are reflections of Tolstoy's own moods and thoughts of the time. It is these thoughts, the doubts and torments transposed in this novel is the reason why Anna Karenina is considered one of the great Russian novels ever written, notwithstanding the emotions that come to life in all its splendor out of the main story line.
And no, it is not a boring book. It is a classic. And why are great books called "classics"?
A true classic is a living book that will never grow old. For sheer fascination, it can rival the most thrilling modern novel. Have you ever wondered how the truly great books have become "classics"? First, because they are so readable. They would not have lived unless they were read.; and they would not have been read unless they were interesting. To be interesting, they have to be easy to understand. And those are the very qualities which chararcterizes classical book: READABILITY, INTEREST….SIMPLICITY.
All of these traits Anna Karenina have. And I read Tolstoy's novel on a memorable summer vacation when I was 14.
