Anna Karenina is a long book with a number of themes, characters, plots, and subplots, and it takes a certain amount of effort to appreciate what Tolstoy has done here. Still, the book is a joy to read, and re-read.
A very prominent theme deals with ethics and how to live a good life. Levin, Tolstoy's protagonist, explicitly considers this question throughout the book. He engages in a number of rather abstruse conversations about politics and economics that mostly confirm his suspicion ... Read More

I much prefer the translation by David Magershack (Signet Classics). Perhaps it's a case of heightened expectations not lived up to because I'd read so many wonderful reviews about this translation. It's still one of my favorite books of all time, but mid-way through this new translation I returned to my ancient dog-eared paperback. If I didn't know Anna Karenina was translated, I would think the Magershack version was simply better written. However, if you've never read this book, any translation is a ... Read More

Anna Karenina. She was an amazing woman. But no less amazing than the other characters in the novel. Tolstoy was a brilliant man and writer. He knows how to blend plot and thought like few others.

And the result, clear and penetrating novels on the human experience.
I highly recommend this novel. I ... Read More

I have read all of Tolstoy's works and though I love them all, Anna Karenina is my most treasured. I have read this book atleast a dozen times and never get tired of reading it. I love how high society is always portrayed in Tolstoy's works as "naughty" (wink). But mostly I fall in love with the tragic heroine, torn between the love of her only son and her adulterous lover. Her affair in the end consumes her, and Anna's life takes a tragic turn. A story that stands up to the test of time.

Many themes of Anna Karenina are timeless: marriage, infidelity, the roles of men and women, personal fulfillment, honor, spirituality, and naturalism. If that isn't enough, then Tolstoy offers an 18th-century look at Russian society and culture, still well before the run-up to the revolution. Don't look to Tolstoy for enlightened feminism, although one of the characters argues for education and equality for women, and one of the minor threads relates to the status of peasants.
