The story behind the origins of Anna Karenina and the turbulent
life and times of Leo Tolstoy. Anna Karenina is one of the most
nuanced characters in world literature and we return to her, and
the novel she propels, again and again. Remarkably, there has not
yet been an examination of Leo Tolstoy specifically through the
lens of this novel. Critic and professor Bob Blaisdell unravels
Tolstoy's family, literary, and day-to-day life during the period
that he conceived, drafted, abandoned, and revised Anna Karenina.
In the process, we see where Tolstoy's life and his art intersect
in obvious and unobvious ways. Readers often assume that Tolstoy, a
nobleman-turned-mystic would write himself into the principled
Levin. But in truth, it is within Anna that the consciousness and
energy flows with the same depth and complexities as Tolstoy. Her
fateful suicide is the road that Tolstoy nearly traveled himself.
At once a nuanced biography and portrait of the last decades of the
Russian empire and artful literary examination, Creating Anna
Karenina will enthrall the thousands of readers whose lives have
become deeper and clearer after experiencing this hallmark of world
literature.
