Anna Karenina, geschreven door Graaf Lev Tolstoi, is een geweldig mooi en aangrijpend verhaal over het leven en kan hiernaast ook als een goed zelfhulpboek worden gezien. Het gaat over de levens van vele personages in het 19e eeuwse Rusland, m.n. over Anna Karenina en Konstantin Levin. Alhoewel ik Anna's verhaal ook interessant vond, moet ik zeggen dat ik me meer kon identificeren met Levin's verhaal en zijn zoektocht naar de betekenis van het leven; en ik moet zeggen dat ik een stuk wijzer ben geworden over het leven en hoe je het moet waarderen en koesteren. 

Ik raad dit boek aan aan mensen die een impactvol realistisch fictie boek zoeken over het leven en dat zich afspeelt in het 19e eeuwse Rusland. 

Wel een content-waarschuwing: het boek kan zwaar op de hand en donker zijn, dus is misschien niet voor iedereen zo geschikt.
