Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Because this book is very moving. Through the two characters, a touching story is introduced, human desires and consciences are expounded, and the philosophical level is reached, and the final answer is finally given.

Regarding Leo Tolstoy, Ma Yuan has a saying that he believes that Tolstoy is the least controversial writer in history. I understand what he means, and the least controversial here refers to his place in the history of literature. That is, you can like or dislike Tolstoy's work, but no one seems to be able to deny his status as a brilliant thinker and first-rate **.

Although Leo Tolstoy's name is often juxtaposed with Homer, Shakespeare, and Goethe, people seem to prefer to compare him with Balzac and Dostoevsky.

The characters in this ** book are very distinctive, and they can also make everyone feel very moved, so everyone likes it very much.

In terms of background, Anna Karenina (1873-1877) was created in the 1870s, when the ancient feudal landlord Russia was under the onslaught of Western European capitalism. As the book says, "Everything has been turned upside down, and everything is just beginning to be established." The main thing is that the old order of the feudal aristocracy has been overthrown, and the capitalist system has sprouted.

The essence of Anna Karenina's artistic charm lies in the psychological description of the characters, which is an important part of the description of the whole work. Toon's favorite protagonist, Levin, is a spiritual explorer. His charm lies in his exploration of social issues, especially peasant issues, and his exploration of personal happiness and the meaning of life.

I think her tragedy is very close to real life, and her tragedy was actually caused by the society at that time, and the concept deviation of the society at that time, the bad habits were not abandoned, and even blindly prevailed, resulting in the tragedy of the heroine.

Anna is a very courageous person and full of energy, but her tragedy is caused by objective circumstances, such as the pressure of life in the upper circle, and her reluctance to fit into this circle leads to the tragedy.

Anna's tragedy is created by the times, and she is also to blame, born in a family that is not particularly happy, Anna's tragedy is mainly due to the original family.
