Sobre aquest llibre

Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" is a masterful exploration of love, infidelity, and societal expectations set against the opulent backdrop of 19th-century Russia. Through its intricate narrative structure and richly developed characters, the novel weaves together the lives of several individuals, most prominently the tragic figure of Anna, who grapples with her desires and the repercussions of her choices. Tolstoy employs a realist style, meticulously depicting the moral complexities of his characters while also offering keen insights into the social landscape of the time, making the novel a poignant examination of the human condition. Tolstoy, a literary titan known for his philosophical inquiries and deep moral reflections, was profoundly influenced by his own life experiences, including his struggles with faith, family, and the societal roles of his era. These personal challenges deeply inform the thematic depth of "Anna Karenina," as Tolstoy delves into the conflicting emotions of love and duty, mirroring his own life conflicts and the broader issues faced by the Russian aristocracy during this tumultuous period. This timeless classic is essential reading for anyone interested in the complexities of human relationships and the social constraints that govern them. Tolstoy's profound character portrayals and philosophical insights invite readers to reflect on their own lives, ensuring that "Anna Karenina" remains a relevant and compelling work for contemporary audiences.

Sobre l'autor

Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 in Russia. He is usually referred to as Leo Tolstoy. He was a Russian author who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Leo Tolstoy is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. Tolstoy had a profound moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870's which he outlined in his work, A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. His ideas of nonviolent resistance which he shared in his works The Kingdom of God is Within You, had a profund impact on figures such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. On September 23, 1862 Tolstoy married Sophia Andreevna Behrs. She was the daughter of a court physician. They had 13 children, eight of whom survived childhood. Their early married life allowed Tolstoy much freedom to compose War and Peace and Anna Karenina with his wife acting as his secretary and proofreader. The Tolstoy family left Russia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet Union. Leo Tolstoy's relatives and descendants moved to Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo train station, after a day's rail journey south on November 20, 1910 at the age of 82.
