Produktbeschreibung
Anna Karenina, a married aristocrat and socialite from St. Petersburg falls in love with Count Vronsky, a civilized military officer. Constrained by the laws of the Russian orthodox church, Anna is skeptical and anxious about leaving her husband and starting a new life with Vronsky. A social outcast, Anna is a voracious reader and despises fakery that she feels her husband embodies. Unfortunately, with her growing suspicion of Vronsky's fidelity, her affair brings her more misery than happiness. Eventually, her fear leads her to taking her own life. Anna Karenina is considered as a masterpiece in realist fiction. Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 in Russia's Tula Province, Yasnaya Polyana, into an aristocratic family. He primarily wrote novels and short stories. Later in life, he also wrote plays and essays. His two most famous works "War and Peace" and "Anna Karenina"are acknowledged as two of the greatest novels of all time and an apex of realist fiction. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909. He is still regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. His ideas on non-violent resistance, conveyed in such works as "The Kingdom of God Is Within You" , were to have a profound influence on such pivotal twentieth-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
Autorenporträt
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828 - 1910), usually referred to in English as Leo Tolstoy, was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Born to an aristocratic Russian family in 1828, he is best known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realist fiction. He first achieved literary acclaim in his twenties with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood and Youth (1852-1856) and Sevastopol Sketches (1855), based upon his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. In the 1870s Tolstoy experienced a profound moral crisis, followed by what he regarded as an equally profound spiritual awakening, as outlined in his non-fiction work A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. Tolstoy's ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works as The Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures as Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and James Bevel. Tolstoy also became a dedicated advocate of Georgism, the economic philosophy of Henry George, which he incorporated into his writing, particularly Resurrection.
