❄️ THIS IS MY UPDATED REVIEW FOR ANNA KARENINA
I think most readers are aware of the penultimate ending of the novel, not necessarily because they’ve read it or even seen a film version, like the one in which Kiera Knightley plays the lead role, but they’ve “heard about it somewhere.” I say penultimate because the novel goes on well past Anna’s death and, so far as I’m concerned, to no good effect. I found it dragged whereas the rest of the novel moved along well enough for me.
The actual ending basically consists of a religious tract, disguised as Levin’s struggle over embracing the Russian Orthodox faith, like everyone else he knows, and then a tract on the politics of war, again centering around Levin’s feelings and the concept of pacifism. In fact, Levin takes up the rest of the novel after Anna’s death, interesting because the novel begins with him being rejected by the woman he loves. We come full circle with him, as it were, where he is somewhat at peace and somewhat not, at the conclusion. I would say he is my favorite character, a man close to the land and close to the (mostly) humble people who work it. Do we see Tolstoy in this man?
War and Peace came first (1867), Anna Karenina second (1878), and I feel like Tolstoy is restless at the end of Karenina and wants to do other things than write a novel - such as bring more theology and philosophy into his writings and life. Indeed, “Tolstoy came to reject most modern Western culture, including his novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, as elitist "counterfeit art" with different aims from the Christian art of universal brotherly love he sought to express.” [Wiki]
Anna Karenina was highly readable and enjoyable, and its length did not matter to me one bit. The writing was exceptional. I only found Anna’s personality disorder more and more difficult to deal with. The poor soul. She was so tormented. The only thing that gave her any consistent relief was draughts of morphine.
Madeline Anthony, editor of an Audible blog on the novel, informs us that “the plot of Anna Karenina was inspired by the story of a real woman—the mistress of one of Tolstoy's friends who, after learning that her lover had been neglecting her for another woman, threw herself in front of a freight train.
“The character of Anna was inspired by Alexander Pushkin's daughter, Maria Hartung. Meeting the young woman at a ball, Tolstoy was struck by her beauty and, after engaging in a conversation, also by her bold opinions on literature and art.”
It is at once a romance, a tragedy, and a novel of life upon life upon life - it seems like everything that matters to us on this earth is embodied in one of the characters, one of the love affairs, in one of the many lengthy conversations, or in one of the subplots or the main plot itself - that is, Vronsky’s relationship with Anna, and Levin’s relationship with Kitty or Ekaterina - and I prefer her full name Ekaterina, it’s so lovely.
The novel is an important and entertaining journey for any reader to make, no matter what other genres they prefer. There’s a lot to like in this work.
(I read the Pevear-Volokhonsky translation which I found lively and refreshing.)

Oh Anna, Anna, Anna. What a journey.
Did it take me about four months to read this book? Yes, it did. 😅
Did I enjoy it? Often, yes… but sometimes I found myself wondering, “Why the hell am I reading about this? Or “Is this even relevant?” 😂
The thing is, I’ve always struggled with long descriptions, and let me tell you, this book has a lot of them (like, a lot a lot 🥴). Still, I was invested in Anna’s world. Her journey was fascinating, to say the least: her inner turmoil, how she sacrificed everything (her name, her status, her son) in the name of love. Her pain, and how far she was willing to go just to feel something 💔
I really had a love/hate relationship with her. Anna’s manipulative, self-centred personality went against every value I hold… but as a mother, the way she loved, cared for, and ached for her son, her distress, her need to be loved and seen, her belief that being “perfect” was the only way to be loveable… it made me pity her, but I could also relate to some extent. At times, though, it was really hard to feel sympathy for her.
To be honest, what truly made the book for me was a secondary love story that completely grabbed my heart. It was sweet, pure, and so much more relatable. My favourite moments were between this couple, and also when the male character has an existential crisis.
You really go through everything with this book: religion and faith, morality (adultery, divorce) and how society perceived them, family dynamics, a bit of politics, and love, not the simple kind, and definitely not rainbows and butterflies 😅, but the one that gets complicated when backgrounds, values, and education don’t align.
This was my first Tolstoy. Will it be my last? I don’t know yet.
Do I recommend reading it? Absolutely.

An epic journey through 19th century Victorian Russian society with too many layers to count. I was amazed at how nuanced and current the psychological struggles some of the main characters dealt with through their social norms and expectations. For a book written over 150 years ago, the despair of the human condition felt by the main characters felt as current and relatable as if it was written today.
I found the parallels between Levin and Anna’s struggle for peace, throughout their relationship(s), with Vronsky and Kitty to be quite universal, though from different perspectives and with their own unique challenges and flaws. The themes of happiness, fulfillment and how they are represented through metaphors like train travel, farming, etc. were extremely powerful. I particularly enjoyed Levin’s move to the countryside and throwing himself into mowing the fields by hand with the peasants.
While there are certainly some more boring sections that tend to drag on for longer than I would have liked, these sections did add a feeling of time passing and gave a richness to the timeline of the character’s journey. Without some of these detours, I’m not sure the book would have felt as grand or consequential for the characters had the story moved more quickly through their lives.
All-in-all, I can certainly see why this is considered by many to be Tolstoy’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels to ever be written.

Denna bok har allt. Känsliga porträtt och imponerande betraktelser av den mänskliga tillvarons svårigheter. Bra fart i handlingen, stundvis omöjlig att sluta läsa.

I think I prefer the Constance Garnett translation to the Maude & Maude translation. I read the Garnett translation second and found it to be more natural and I also enjoyed how Garnett uses the Russian names. It is, of course, the same story and same fascinating characters!

Third time through (I think?) So rich!

This is the best novel ever written. Every emotion you've felt, Tolstoy wrote about it with ironic detachment. You never had a chance.

To say reading Anna Karenina has changed me would be an understatement. It shaped me, and will continue to. It was comparable to finally getting around doing something that has always been waiting for me. Tolstoi’s philosophical approach to life and social relations time-proofs the novel and ensures it to remain simple yet with universal reach, I’d dare say trascendental, as with metaphysical questions, these humane matters will always exist and be the same for all. Desire, will, wanting, feeling and fighting against invisible powers in society and within oneself are beautifully and realistically portrayed by Tolstoi so as to learn from art, informed by life, to better understand, appreciate and approach that which has been given to us. Us, us, us, of course I can only speak for myself but I do feel these humane questions could deeply reach us all. As for myself, then, there’s an Anna and a Levin inside of me, two of the same contingent drives that work in conjunction with each’s medium so that they diverge so far from one another and end up being so different, but as opposite ends of the spectrum often do, they also end up as being kind of the same. Their encounter, near the end, I think, acts as the catalyst to everything that unravels from that point on, reminding each of their position, of what’s been accomplished, and what’s been lost. One cannot but FEEL for each character’s position and personal journey of growth, hoping that it’s also made me a better person and better equipped to handle these matters that will always be paramount to us. I’m so close to turning to religion as to get answers, Levin’s position of ‘what if these set of values that I cherish and have developed so deeply and intimately coincide with those of taught religion so that I can’t but choose to go back and believe’ has struck me deep.

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, one of the most important masterpieces created by man http://realini.blogspot.com/2017/04/a...
10 out of 10
With the war launched by Putin, to wipe out Ukraine from the map and add it to his would be empire, there have been calls to boycott not just oligarchs, Russian oil and gas (which alas, is still needed) but also some of the greatest luminaries, creators that the world has and happen to be Russian, like Leo Tolstoy, with reference to some of the less savory texts written by the count, or some of the other luminaries form the same outré country…he talks about ‘the Russification of Poland’ in this novel, though not arguing in favor of it, in the context of war, who has the right to launch it (the government) there is a wider argument over what happens when the people disagree with that action…
Indeed, at over eight hundred pages of magnum opus, we have the chance to read opinions, suggestions, points of view on almost anything under the sun, and when various characters talk, they touch on religion, politics, differences between the rich and the poor, with emphasis on love (obviously, this is about the dramatic entanglement between Anna Karenina and count Alexei Vronsky) this reader had been cautious in entering this phenomenal universe in part because of the aforementioned war (I was also curious to see what the effect would be, will I reject Tolstoy and hence others, because they are compatriots of the Putin Monster) and also I hate to know what happens.
And everybody is aware of the tragic destiny of the heroine (if not, well, spoiler alerts need to be included) who decides upon a gruesome ending…we have been most fortunate to have a magnificent, glorious professor of Literature, Anton Chevorchian, in high school, and among the many things, tales he told us, he referred to ‘naturalism’ and the manner in which artists of that trend would approach the death of Anna Karenina, insisting on what happens after the blow from the train, details that they would give, and that example has stayed with me for more than forty years, to this day actually
There was another argument against taking on this massive work (the more than eight hundred pages are indeed another cautionary signal) and that will refer to the personality, the character of Leo Tolstoy, exposed in the marvelous Intellectuals by brilliant Paul Johnson http://realini.blogspot.com/2014/06/i... who has looked at Henrik Ibsen, Ernest Hemingway, Jean-Jacques Rousseau (the latter has abandoned his children at the door of an orphanage, at a time when nine out of ten would die in that circumstance) and Tolstoy himself, concluding that these titanic writers would have a very dark, repugnant side, which for some could make sense…
Maybe the most fantastic thinker, and somehow also comedian, that we have is Andrei Plesu http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/05/d... one that has the sagesse to talk to people about almost anything under the sun – sometimes making mistakes, like in the case of Greta Thunberg, the young woman that he dismisses as being too vocal about humanity getting suffocated, when she does not yet know what she is about, much if anything about the world…this is not just condescending, it is plain wrong – and he sometimes takes on the…’Russian Questions
Russian questions for Andrei Plesu would be the fundamental ones that regard the paramount mysteries and issues, such as the Meaning of Life – incidentally, Martin Seligman, the co-founder of positive psychology, has written in his Flourish http://realini.blogspot.com/2013/11/f... a formula of happiness, PERMA, in which the M stands for having Meaning,
And the rest for positive emotions, engagement, Relationships, and achievement – and we are invited in Anna Karenina to look at birth, death, religion…it is intriguing and inspiring to watch Konstantin Levin navigate between his skepticism and the faith shown by most people, including his wife Kitty
Kitty is first infatuated with the dashing Vronsky, and if we are to be maximizers – something that is explained in the quintessential The Paradox of Choice http://realini.blogspot.com/2015/07/t... by Barry Schwartz - then we could find fault with the girl, and say that perhaps it is not love she would eventually feel for Levin, since she had rejected him once…
One of the most intriguing, maybe difficult questions would be to understand what really happens to Anna Karenina and Vronsky, why does their love ‘die’, is it even possible – Thomas Mann http://realini.blogspot.com/2021/09/t... has a character in one of his short stories that is aghast at the way people keep saying ‘I love you so much, there are no words to express this’, and the personage protests, stating that ‘love., Friends’ are extant only in art, literature, because the meaning of these words is so vast and comprehensive, love is eternal, but when we test ‘that love which is beyond words’ we see that it is limited, fails the not so difficult tests, when we need the real support of some ‘friend’, he does not have the time, inclination, the friendship to be there…
http://realini.blogspot.com/2016/02/h... there is such a thing as Hedonic Adaptation, demonstrated by psychology tests, which show that we adapt to almost all situations (expect for very loud noises, do not move near an airport, thinking you will get used with the terrible noise, the loss of someone dear, unemployment, these are more difficult to adapt to) and what seems like eternal bliss becomes something we do not see anymore…there is The Honeymoon Effect: after about two years, partners in couples or marriages tend to look for novelty and may start an affair (not all, evidently) and then finally, The Coolidge Effect and that light anecdote, to end what is a chef d’oeuvre, with such a cataclysmic climax…the American president was visiting a farm, where a rooster was very active and the first lady asked how many times per day the animal jumped on hens and the answer was a very big number (I could not remember, but as with anything, you could google and get the approximation) which the first lady asked to be mentioned to the president, who in his turns asked if it is always the same hen, and the reply was that it is always a different one…in other words, had Vronsky been afflicted by this effect…yes, it is lowering the level of a magnum opus to a silly question, but hey, it is one of the many enigmas, issues of this gigantic masterpiece http://realini.blogspot.com/2022/02/u...

The short chapters made it easy for me to read half an hours worth and feel satisfied with my progress for the day. Therefore, it’s no wonder that it took me around three months to finish it. However, considering that the book is a slow, drawn out, and in-depth character study, it’s probably enjoyed more as a light jog than as a sprint anyway, so I’m glad I took my time with it.
TLDR: it’s a great novel for the back-burner — to slowly eat away at while breezing through other books on your read list.

Amazing. I loved how Leo Tolstoys writing style, makes this huge book less intimidating and really enjoyable. Most people will be able to read this, so don’t be alarmed by the lot of Russian names and 1000 pages. Tragic love story, and how it ends up affecting multiple people surrounding it. Also touches on political matters such as the rights of women and the common people in the 18th century Russia. Although still relevant in some ways. I strongly recommend if you love history, as I do.

Even though Anna Karenina main plot is about love, relationships and finding one life's meaning, what I brought away was a complex snapshot of Russian society at the end of the 19th century.
Facing modernism as a rural, agricultural economy based on hierarchical structures with low or no vertical mobility, we can see the discussion that ultimately lead to the 1917 revolution. Thanks to Levin's naïveté and political engagement, we can create a picture of societal movements and currents creating a space for change. Observing the changes in Western Europe, both on economical and political level, Russia is at search of its own identity.
On the relationship level of the book, the most striking fact for me is banal - whatever the time/epoch, the life of our hearts does not change over time, only the decor does.

3.5 I liked anna Karenina well enough though it did drag at times. I just took occasional breaks from it and then came back. There were other characters’ stories here which seemed just as significant as Anna’s story. That kept it more interesting.

Why is it called Anna Karenina and not Levin? There are sooooo many storylines and so many great characters!

5 stars if not for the unnecessary moralisation, otherwise wonderful in every aspect and rightfully deserves the title of greatest novel of all time

Best sonnifero ever 😛
Cioè, bellissimo romanzo, ma in alcuni punti veramente lento. Mi è piaciuto, poteva essere 250 pagine in meno.
