"Anna Karenina" in Our Time: Seeing More Wisely - Russian Literature and Thought Series

An assessment of "Anna Karenina", this book overturns traditional interpretations of the classic novel and shows why readers have misunderstood Tolstoy's characters and intentions. It offers analyses of Anna, Karenin, Dolly, Levin, and other characters, with a particularly subtle portrait of Anna's extremism and self-deception.
