Description

In Part 3 of Anna Karenina, the divide between Anna and society deepens as her affair with Vronsky intensifies. Isolated from friends and family, Anna struggles with jealousy and despair, while Vronsky faces his own dilemmas balancing love and duty. Meanwhile, Levin marries Kitty, finding joy in domestic life and rural simplicity. Their contrasting paths highlight the tension between societal expectations and personal fulfillment. As autumn arrives, Tolstoy explores themes of sacrifice, identity, and the search for meaning, setting the stage for further emotional turmoil and reflection.

Author

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was born to a titled family at Yasnaya Polyana, served in the Crimean War, and wrote the two novels that made Russian fiction a world event: War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The first holds a nation at war and at home; the second holds a marriage until it breaks. Later he turned from the worldly novel toward essays and moral tales, arguing with church, property, and his own fame. One hundred and six titles here.
