However, Vronsky’s attention in the face of her husband’s neglect encourages Anna to believe that she is in love with Vronsky. He is immediately smitten, but for the sake of her young son and her standing in society, Anna resists his overtures. She is content in her marriage until she meets the dashing bachelor and ladies man Count Vronsky. Anna is the wife of the much older Count Karenin. Though the source novel is long and much more complex, most adaptations, focus mostly on the character of Anna Karenina herself. I recently had the opportunity to view the 2013 European production of Anna Karenina and finally felt like I understood Tolstoy’s story. Having previously seen two of these films I can say some of these adaptations are better than others. It has also appeared in opera, ballet, and the theater. There are numerous film and television series adaptations of this literature classic. With its exploration of themes such as faithfulness, love, passion, family, adultery, hypocrisy and jealousy, Anna Karenina is a rich source of storytelling. His most popular and well-known works include both War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The famous Russian author’s name is often mentioned as one of literature’s great writers. Few are unfamiliar with the name Leo Tolstoy.
