Synopsis "Anna Karenina (in Catalan)"

Anna Karènina és una de les novel·les fonamentals de la literatura universal. Tolstoi va depurar el seu estil per pintar un fris vivíssim de la Rússia de finals del xix i, sobretot, per posar en relleu la història de l?amor tràgic entre l?oficial Vronski i la jove aristòcrata Anna, que es deixa arrossegar per la passió i abandona la família. La novel·la enllaça les vides de les classes altes i dels camperols humils, i aconsegueix un ressò èpic que captiva els lectors d?avui com va seduir els d?ahir. La profunditat del drama moral d?Anna Karènina serveix a Tolstoi per expressar els seus dilemes sobre les relacions entre home i dona, i també el seu rebuig envers una societat refinada però hipòcrita, incapaç d?evolucionar, mentre es congriava la Revolució Russa. Gran novel·la realista, Anna Karènina és la màxima elaboració literària de la passió amorosa i de la lluita entre els dictats del cor i de la raó. Dostoievski considerava Anna Karènina «una obra d?art absolutament perfecta».

Lev Nikoláievich also known in Spanish as León Tolstói; 28 de agosto/ 9 de septiembre de 1828- Astápovo, now Lev Tolstói, Lipetsk province, 7 de noviembre/ 20 de noviembre de 1910) was a Russian novelist, considered one of the most important writers in world literature. His childhood was marked by the early loss of his parents, leading him to be raised by his aunts. From a young age, Tolstói showed an unusual intellectual restlessness and critical view towards traditional education, abandoning his traditional education studies, leaving university studies in Law and Oriental Languages at Kazan University after finding no meaning in them

His two most famous works, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, are considered the pinnacle of Russian realism, alongside works by Fyodor Dostoevsky. He received multiple nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1910; the fact that he never won is a major controversy of the Nobel Prize.

He is globally known for the novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), often cited as pinnacles of realistic fiction. He first achieved literary success in his youth with his semi-autobiographical trilogy, Childhood, Boyhood, and Youth (1852-1856), and Sebastopol Sketches (1855), based on his experiences in the Crimean War. Tolstói's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novels such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), Family Happiness (1859), and Hadji Murat (1912). He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays.
