A review by wgsaraband
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

5.0

Anna Karenina is one of humanity's greatest literary masterpieces. It is a story about stories, depicting the life of each of its unique and varied characters in an astonishingly critical and truthful way. We are confronted with the many demons that tear at the soul of people who share one thing in common: a need to be understood.

Tolstoy is unique in his storytelling, taking us through chapter after chapter in his utterly mesmerizing writing. This is a narrative focused on its characters, and they are the ones that guide us through a tantalizing glimpse into the life of Russian Aristocracy in the late 19th century.
