Anna Karenina

En af verdensitteraturens allerstørste romanklassikere er "Anna Karenina", som er en tragisk fortælling om en ung, charmerende kvinde i midten af den russiske overklasses overflod af rigdomme og fordømmelse. Anna Karenina er en gift, russisk aristokrat, der bevæger sig i de bedste social kredse i 1800-tallets Rusland. Da Anna indleder en affære med den velhavende og attraktive ungkarl grev Vronsky, begynder hendes fine velhaverliv dog at gå fra hinanden i sømmene. Splittet mellem sin elsker og sin ægtemand, og presset af sociale normer, den russiske orthodokse kirkes moralske love og sin egen usikkerhed, befinder Anna sig i en prekær situation. Leo Tolstoys ubestridte mesterværk "Anna Karenina" adresserer samfundets natur på alle niveauer, skæbnen, døden, medmenneskelighed, forhold og eksistensens uforenelige modstridigheder.

Love... it means too much to me, far more than you can understand. At its simplest, Anna Karenina is a love story. It is a portrait of a beautiful and intelligent woman whose passionate love for a handsome officer sweeps aside all other ties - to her marriage and to the network of relationships and moral values that bind the society around her. The love affair of Anna and Vronsky is played out alongside the developing romance of Kitty and Levin, and in the character of Levin, closely based on Tolstoy himself, the search for happiness takes on a deeper philosophical significance. One of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina combines penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of Russian life in the 1870s. The novel takes us from high society St Petersburg to the threshing fields on Levin's estate, with unforgettable scenes at a Moscow ballroom, the skating rink, a race course, a railway station. It creates an intricate labyrinth of connections that is profoundly satisfying, and deeply moving. Rosamund Bartlett's translation conveys Tolstoy's precision of meaning and emotional accuracy in an English version that is highly readable and stylistically faithful. Like her acclaimed biography of Tolstoy, it is vivid, nuanced, and compelling.

In 1872 the mistress of a neighbouring landowner threw herself under a train at a station near Tolstoy's home. This gave Tolstoy the starting point he needed for composing what many believe to be the greatest novel ever written. In writing Anna Karenina he moved away from the vast historical sweep of War and Peace to tell, with extraordinary understanding, the story of an aristocratic woman who brings ruin on herself. Anna's tragedy is interwoven with not only the courtship and marriage of Kitty and Levin but also the lives of many other characters. Rich in incident, powerful in characterization, the novel also expresses Tolstoy's own moral vision. `The correct way of putting the question is the artist's duty', Chekhov once insisted, and Anna Karenina was the work he chose to make his point. It solves no problem, but it is deeply satisfying because all the questions are put correctly.

Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina , first published in 1878, is widely regarded as one of the greatest novels in world literature. Set against the backdrop of Imperial Russia, the novel intricately weaves the lives of its characters, exploring themes of love, infidelity, family, and societal norms. The narrative centers on Anna Karenina, a sophisticated woman married to Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin, a high-ranking government official. Feeling unfulfilled in her marriage, Anna embarks on a passionate affair with the charming Count Alexei Vronsky. Their relationship scandalizes St. Petersburg society and leads Anna into a downward spiral of jealousy, isolation, and despair. Parallel to Anna's story is that of Konstantin Dmitrievich Levin, a landowner who struggles with questions of faith, purpose, and his place in society. Levin's pursuit of happiness through his connection to the land and his love for Kitty Shcherbatskaya offers a counterpoint to Anna's tumultuous experiences, highlighting different paths to fulfillment and the complexities of human existence. Tolstoy's masterful portrayal of his characters' inner lives and the societal pressures they face provides a timeless exploration of the human condition. His nuanced depiction of the conflicts between personal desires and social expectations continues to resonate with readers, making Anna Karenina a profound study of morality, fidelity, and the pursuit of happiness. This new translation aims to capture the richness and subtlety of Tolstoy's prose, offering contemporary readers a fresh perspective on this classic work. By preserving the novel's depth and emotional resonance, this edition invites both new and returning readers to immerse themselves in the enduring tragedy and beauty of Anna Karenina .

Some people say Anna Karenina is the single greatest novel ever written, which makes about as much sense to me as trying to determine the world's greatest color. But there is no doubt that Anna Karenina, generally considered Tolstoy's best book, is definitely one ripping great read. Anna, miserable in her loveless marriage, does the barely thinkable and succumbs to her desires for the dashing Vronsky. I don't want to give away the ending, but I will say that 19th-century Russia doesn't take well to that sort of thing.

Anna Karenina er Tolstojs verdensberømte og elskede klassiker om en af de mest charmerende kvindeskikkelser i verdenslitteraturen: den smukke og sanselige Anna Karenina, der opgiver sin trygge borgerlige tilværelse med sin noget ældre ærgerrige og følelseskolde mand for at følge sin lidenskabelige kærlighed til den virile, mandige grev Vronskij. Sideløbende og modstående har vi fortællingen om det lykkelige giftermål mellem Kitty og godsejer Ljovin (Tolstojs alter ego). Ljovin er den ansvarsfulde godsejer og familiefader, der dog plages af eksistentielle tanker om meningen med livet og døden og til sidst finder fred i det simple liv og det kristne budskab om næstekærlighed (senere videreudviklet i Tolstojismen). En vældig og dramatisk fortælling om livet i Zartidens Rusland med Tolstojs eminente personkarakteristikker og intense beskrivelser af begivenhederne og personernes liv. ” Anna Karenina er et fuldkomment kunstværk.” – Fjodor M. Dostojevskij ”Betragtes som et af højdepunkterne i verdenslitteraturen.” – Merriam-Webster’s Encyclopedia of Literature ”I en sexet og altopslugende læsning fortæller denne bog historien om en af de mest fængslende kærlighedsaffærer i litteraturhistorien.” – Oprah Winfrey ”… scene følger på scene, så intenst oplevede, at læseren ligefrem hører hestenes trampen hen over turfen i væddeløbsscenen og lugter græsset og karlenes sved, da Ljovin under høslætten kappes med gårdens folk … Realismen som beskrivelsesform nåede vel i denne roman sit højeste.” – Carl Stief, Verdenslitteraturhistorien , Politiken

Tolstojs episke roman om Anna Karenina har tryllebundet læsere i over hundrede år. Anna Karenina har vænnet sig til at leve i et kærlighedsløst ægteskab, men da hun møder den smukke unge Grev Wronski oplever hun følelser, hun aldrig før har haft. Deres lidenskabelige kærlighed skaber røre i det aristokratiske miljø, der hellere end gerne tolererer letsindige affærer, men ikke lader plads til ægte følelser. Anna bliver mere og mere isoleret, i takt med at hun gør større og større ofre for sin kærlighed til Wronski. "Anna Karenina" er ikke kun et mesterværk i kraft af sin uforglemmelige heltinde. Romanen udforsker den menneskelige psyke og søger efter svar på de dybeste spørgsmål om, hvad der skal til for at leve et godt og indholdsrigt liv i en verden, hvor der ikke nødvendigvis er plads til det. Gateway /title /head body center h1 502 Bad Gateway /h1 /center /body /htmlDen russiske Grev Lev Nikolajevitj Tolstoj (1828-1910) er bredt anerkendt som en af verdens bedste forfattere nogensinde. Han er bedst kendt for sine romaner "Anna Karenina" og "Krig og fred", men hans forfatterskab spænder også over et stort antal noveller, essays og delvist selvbiografiske værker.

A famous legend surrounding the creation of Anna Karenina tells us that Tolstoy began writing a cautionary tale about adultery and ended up falling in love with his magnificent heroine. It is rare to find a reader of the book who doesn't experience the same kind of emotional upheaval. Anna Karenina is filled with major and minor characters who exist in their own right and fully embody their mid-nineteenth-century Russian milieu, but it still belongs entirely to the woman whose name it bears, whose portrait is one of the truest ever made by a writer. Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude.
