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.
Oh, moralist! But you must understand, there are two women; one insists only on her rights, and those rights are your love, which you can't give her; and the other sacrifices everything for you and asks for nothing.
