keftedaki 's review for:
Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy
After Kafka my next classic was Tolstoy.
Reading through it I understood why people love him so much. His characters are so mezmerizing. All of them have a vivid personality that shines through the pages. His pace can be quite slow at times but don't skip ANY pages because some of the most important moments in the story were told in a few words out of the blue.
His depiction of women is obviously relevant to his times. The ending was that made me think about it most of all.
Obviously towards the end of the book the character that really matters is Levin. He is the one who struggles alone with his existential purpose, because his wife is too shallow to understand. And once he came to his spiritual epiphany he didn't communicate it.
Anna Karenina was quite annoying, but vividly annoying. She slowly lost her mind from being very content and put together until she fell inlove and lost it completely because aside of her writing her partner was all that mattered.
A really beautiful story filled with moral dilemma, but the female representation from our heroine lacked backbone, compered to the male characters
