Anna Karenina – Leo Tolstoy par Leo Tolstoy

"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

Anna Karenina, a beautiful and sophisticated woman, abandons her cold husband and her son for a passionate affair with the dashing Count Vronsky. Her search for love defies the rigid hypocrisy of high society, leading to her social isolation and tragic unraveling. Her story is contrasted with the courtship and marriage of the landowner Levin and Kitty, who find happiness in the simple life of the country.

Tolstoy's masterpiece is a profound exploration of love, family, and the search for meaning. It offers a complex, non-judgmental portrait of a woman destroyed by the conflict between her heart and social convention.
