Tolstoy, Leo “Anna Karenina”

Tolstoy, Leo (Толстой, Лев Николаевич) “Anna Karenina” (Анна Каренина) - 1877

I love classics, therefore, I absolutely love this book. I just couldn't put it down. It's a wonderful story.
A story about love and deceipt, the morale of the 19th century, this novel describes the history of three Russian families of nobility, their joys and problems.

I didn't like Anna or her lover Vronsky much (especially him) but liked most of the other characters well, especially Kitty and Levin. The writing is so wonderful, you think those people are real.

I also watched one of the mini series that was filmed a couple of years ago and had the same impression. Everyone in our book club, with one exception, I believe, loved it, as well. I liked it so much, I will definitely want to read a lot more of Tolstoy.

We discussed this in our book club in August 2005.
