Widely regarded as a pinnacle in realist fiction, Anna Karenina recounts St. Petersburg aristocrat Anna Karenina’s life story at the backdrop of the late-19th-century feudal Russian society. Fyodor Dostoyevsky declared it “flawless as a work of art.” His opinion was shared by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired “the flawless magic of Tolstoy’s style,” and by William Faulkner, who described the novel as “the best ever written.” The novel remains popular, as demonstrated by a 2007 poll of 125 contemporary authors inTime, which declared that Anna Karenina is the “greatest book ever written.”

Anna Karenina is commonly thought to explore the themes of hypocrisy, jealousy, faith, fidelity, family, marriage, society, progress, carnal desire and passion, and the agrarian connection to land in contrast to the lifestyles of the city. Translator Rosemary Edmonds wrote that Tolstoy does not explicitly moralise in the book, but instead allows his themes to emerge naturally from the “vast panorama of Russian life.” She also says one of the novel’s key messages is that “no one may build their happiness on another’s pain.”

Leo Tolstoy was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. 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. Tolstoy’s ideas on nonviolent resistance, expressed in such works asThe Kingdom of God Is Within You, were to have a profound impact on such pivotal 20th-century figures.
列夫•托尔斯泰（1828～1910），19世纪末20世纪初俄国伟大的文学家，也是世界文学史上杰出的作家之一，他的文学作品在世界文学中占有重要的地位。代表作有长篇小说《战争与和平》《安娜•卡列尼娜》以及自传体小说三部曲《幼年》《少年》《青年》。其他作品还有《一个地主的早晨》《哥萨克》《塞瓦斯托波尔故事集》等。他也创作了大量童话。他以自己一生的辛勤创作，登上了当时欧洲批判现实主义文学的高峰。列宁称颂其为具有“清醒的现实主义”的“天才艺术家”。托尔斯泰思想中充满着矛盾，这种矛盾正是俄国社会错综复杂的矛盾的反映，是一个富有正义感的贵族知识分子在寻求新生活中，清醒与软弱、奋斗与彷徨、呼喊与苦闷的生动写照。托尔斯泰的作品纵然其中有反动的和空想的东西，但仍不失为世界进步人类的骄傲，他已被公认是全世界的文学泰斗。列夫•托尔斯泰被列宁称为“俄国革命的镜子”。
