Anna Karenina

One of the greatest works about love, found and lost, about family, unhappy and happy, and about passion – equally blinding and destructive. All this is L. N. Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina", relevant on the day of its first publication and gaining new meanings now. According to F. M. Dostoevsky, "Anna Karenina" "is a perfection as a work of art... with which nothing similar from European literature in the present era can be compared". "At that time, when his love was stronger, he could, if he had strongly desired it, tear this love from his heart, but now, when, as at this moment, it seemed to him that he did not feel love for her, he knew that his bond with her could not be broken".
