„All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.“
Ich habe Anna Karenina vor genau einer Woche beendet. Seitdem habe ich viel und oft darüber nachgedacht, so gehaltvoll war die Lektüre. Und zwischen den Beschreibungen der Salons, zwischen Moskau, St. Petersburg und der Provinz, zwischen den vielen Facetten dieses umfangreichen Romans werden mir vor allem die Figuren in Erinnerung bleiben, deren Leben ich auf den Seiten begleitet habe.
Schon nach den ersten Kapiteln hat mich die präzise Persönlichkeitsbildung sprachlos gemacht. Die Menschen waren so komplex, so echt, so zutreffend beschrieben, dass es mir unmöglich schien, dass sie der Vorstellungskraft eines einzelnen Menschen entsprungen waren.
Ich habe mit Anna, Vronsky, Kitty und Levin gelebt, und ich habe auch jetzt noch das Gefühl, dass sie um mich herum weiterleben. Das Buch war zugleich schön, herzlich und schmerzhaft, tragisch und menschlich. Alles in allem war es unglaublich eindrucksvoll und ich habe mich immer noch nicht ganz davon erholt.

timeless but also of its time. so many small parts just show how universal the human experience is, even almost 200 years later. it took me a month to finish this book, but i fell in love with it while taking my time. im obsessed!!! the only downfalls are anna and kitty and darya not being as developed as their male counterparts, but yknow...their parts were seriously the best! and anna's ending is so sad :( she deserved the revelation levin has in part eight...but i really do adore this book and all of its tiny details on life <333

Listened on audio
I read this in HS (roughly 12 years ago). I loved it then and my view hasn't changed much now. It's an overly dramatic story, that's somehow still very classy. Some parts are pointless but I still enjoyed listening to them. There were many times I forgot, while listening, this was written in 1877- it was a coming of age story, in my opinion. It was great, but if I ever crave AK again I'll flip on the movie. I'm exhausted after listening to this for a rough total of 33 hours dedicated to this story.
