Lev Tolstoy. Anna Karenina
This is not an easy theme and obviously a perpetual one or else why it’s never seen as banal. Each generation and practically every people has "its own Anna Karenina."
Why is mankind still fascinated by the personality and fate of the young married lady, who started as an ideal wife and mother, a smart, sincere, charming, beautiful, and moral person, whose tranquility and harmony was upset by the sudden passion? Why does her deep, true love for Vronsky unavoidably lead to a disaster and death? Social and moral values, which seemed to be unshakable and made a divorce practically unattainable, are long gone. The public worldwide has long stopped frowning on divorces and new marriages.
It looks like subtle nuances of human feelings and the most complicated, beautiful, and agonizing phenomenon called Love are more important than the formal state of affairs...
