This book was so compelling. The lessons from the lives contained within will stick with me. I haven't been able to pick up another novel for a few weeks since finishing it. I'm still processing it.

Wow, what a book ... had this on my bedside table for years as the length of this book scared me a bit. Read it in English as the Dutch translation I had was horrible. It is my first Tolstoi (even my first Russian classic but it won't be my last) Absolutely adored this book which read as a Russian soap opera with as main theme: how do we find happiness? Through Levin, Anna, and a host of supporting characters, we see several approaches to happiness. Levin searches for fulfillment through work; Anna and Vronsky through love; Alexey Alexandrovitch through duty; Stiva through superficial amusements; and Dolly through her children. Almost all of them fail to find permanent, complete happiness. This failure leads to death in some cases and reluctant acceptance in others

honest to god i listened to the ingrid reading of this and was too mesmerised by her voice and didn’t pay attention much to the plot so …

Fabuloso, en este hermoso clasico, nuevamente se descubre la grandiosidad y claridad de tolstoy, en estas paginas el ser humano es observado y descrito con minuciosidad, es desnudado por completo para revelar sus mas intimos temores y conflictos. Tolstoy nos deleita insertando a la literatura el conflicto de la pasion humana.

Speaks of so much more than the affair

How I wish there will be different destiny or ending for Anna Karenina ,buy if Anna and Vronsky both wanna to live under th is society, the ending is inevitable and very reasonable, however I still astonishing the way Anna choose

pretty good

Like a lot of old classics, this was long and wordy. Good book though.

Timeless picture of human passions and where they can lead. When reading I was under the skies of Russian countryside.

That's clasic thats my favorite book thats everything
