Anna Karenina. Illustrated edition
Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy called his novel “Anna Karenina” not otherwise than “a novel from modern life.” He described in great detail the “shattered world” devoid of moral unity, in which the chaos. In the novel there are no stories about great historical events, battle scenes. In it, topics that are close to each person are raised and remain unanswered. In the work of Tolstoy there are no coincidences. Representatives of secular society turn away from Anna Karenina, they do not risk to communicate with ‘a criminal woman’. Her position becomes unbearable. And she makes a fatal step… Pretty illustrations by Dmitrii Rybalko provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.

It appeared that he had forgotten nothing except what he wanted to forget – his wife.
All he repented of was that he had not succeeded better in hiding it from his wife.
Instead of being hurt, denying, defending himself, begging forgiveness, instead of remaining indifferent even – anything would have been better than what he did do – his face utterly involuntarily (reflex spinal action, reflected Stepan Arkadyevitch, who was fond of physiology) – utterly involuntarily assumed its habitual, good-humored, and therefore idiotic smile.
This idiotic smile he could not forgive himself. Catching sight of that smile, Dolly shuddered as though at physical pain, broke out with her characteristic heat into a flood of cruel words, and rushed out of the room. Since then she had refused to see her husband.
“It's that idiotic smile that's to blame for it all,” thought Stepan Arkadyevitch.
“But what's to be done? What's to be done?” he said to himself in despair, and found no answer.
