Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
5.0
Before I began reading Anna Karenina (and well, after seeing Anna Karenina the film, which left me disappointed and depressed, yet also provoked me to read the book), I knew it would be life-changing for me. What I didn't know was how much I would relate to Levin, a character I ignored while watching the film, and how much his story would move me.
Anna Karenina, surprisingly not only about Anna Karenina herself but rather about pretty much everything that has to do with life, also ended with the very conclusion that I had struggled to come to terms with ever since I started looking for answers to 'meaning' of life.
Anna Karenina might not end up being the life-changing book that initially expected it to be, the journey it took me on gave me all the thoughts and emotions I, turns out, needed from it. Therefore, I guess I am indeed happy to conclude it together with Levin.
And, yes. This is is the best novel ever written.
