[18], The title has been translated as both Anna Karenin and Anna Karenina. Nabokov, for instance, recommends that "only when the reference is to a female stage performer should English feminise a Russian surname (following a French custom: la Pavlova, 'the Pavlova'). After Anna writes to Karenin, she and Vronsky leave the countryside for Moscow. [6] According to literary theorist Kornelije Kvas, in the novel Anna Karenina, "unofficial institutions of the system, presented through social salons, function as part of the power apparatus that successfully calms the disorder created by Anna’s irrational emotional action, which is a symbol of resistance to the system of social behavioral control. The novel has been adapted into various media including theatre, opera, film, television, ballet, figure skating, and radio drama. Pavlovskis-Petit, Zoja. Although the couple are happy, they undergo a bitter and stressful first three months of marriage. On Edmonds's version he states: "her version has no notes at all and all too frequently errs in the direction of making Tolstoy's 'robust awkwardness' conform to the translator's notion of good English style. Dolly notices Anna's anxious behaviour and her uncomfortable flirtations with Veslovsky. Her relationship with Vronsky is under increasing strain, because he can move freely in Russian society while she remains excluded. Their edition shows an excellent understanding of the details of Tolstoy's world (for instance, the fact that the elaborate coiffure Kitty wears to the ball is not her own hair—a detail that eludes most other translators), and at the same time they use English imaginatively (Kitty's shoes 'delighted her feet' rather than 'seemed to make her feet lighter'—Maude; a paraphrase). At the big ball Kitty expects to hear something definitive from Vronsky, but he dances with Anna instead, choosing her as a partner over a shocked and heartbroken Kitty. Kitty and her mother travel to a German spa to recover from her ill health. Adapted by Tom Stoppard from Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel of the same name, the film depicts the tragedy of Russian aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina, wife of senior statesman Alexei Karenin, and her affair with the affluent cavalry officer Count Vronsky. Despite Vronsky's reassurances, she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity, fearing her own loss of control. As the family members are reunited, and Vronsky sees Anna for the first time, a railway worker accidentally falls in front of a train and is killed. During the time period, a divorce in Russia could only be requested by the innocent party in an affair and required either that the guilty party confessed—which would ruin Anna's position in society and bar her from remarrying in the Orthodox Church—or that the guilty party be discovered in the act of adultery. Influenced by Varenka, Kitty becomes extremely pious, but becomes disillusioned by her father's criticism when she learns Madame Stahl is faking her illness. However, Seryozha refuses to believe that this is true. Yet Anna Karenina is a book that covers much more than one woman's misguided love affair. Anna Karenina ist die im Jahr 1997 produzierte Verfilmung des zwischen 1875 und 1877 geschriebenen gleichnamigen Romans von Leo Tolstoi. Aside from Anna, who’s a fascinating character with much more depth than I’m going to get into here, I found Levin intriguing, especially his philosophical search for the meaning of life and faith, and his obsession with death. "[15] He eliminates the Maudes for "disturbing errors" and "did not find either the Margashack or Carmichael ever superior to the others, and the lack of notes is a drawback." Sergei Ivanovich's (Levin's brother) latest book is ignored by readers and critics and he participates in the Russian commitment to Pan-Slavism. Turner's A Karenina Companion (1993), although he calls their version "certainly a good translation. Her degeneration is drawn out with agonizing detail, as she tries vainly to overcome the guilt she feels. When Vronsky leaves for several days of provincial elections, Anna becomes convinced that she must marry him to prevent him from leaving her. After speaking at length to a peasant, Levin has a true change of heart, concluding that he does believe in the Christian principles taught to him in childhood and no longer questions his faith. Kitty eventually learns that she is pregnant. He chooses not to tell Kitty of the change that he has undergone. It was one of those books, similar to Middlemarch, that had been on my list for a while – one of those books I knew I should read, but kept putting off for more accessible, contemporary options. The plot centers on an extramarital affair between Anna and dashing cavalry officer Count Alexei Kirillovich Vronsky that scandalizes the social circles of Saint Petersburg and forces the young lovers to flee to Italy in a search for happiness. Everything in them is so rotten, and the whole thing should be rewritten—all that has been printed too—scrapped, and melted down, thrown away, renounced (1876, JI 62: 265)". Meanwhile, Stiva acts as a matchmaker with Levin: he arranges a meeting between him and Kitty, which results in their reconciliation and betrothal. This is a good translation." Happy families may all be alike, but perhaps a question to be asked first is, do they exist at all, or can such a thing exist in humanity? In St. Petersburg, Anna and Vronsky stay in one of the best hotels, but take separate suites. A woman risks everything she has, including her own life, in pursuit of true love, and the pursuit is ultimately fatal. Karenin changes his plans after hearing that Anna is dying after the difficult birth of her daughter, Annie. Anna Karenina, novel by Leo Tolstoy, published in installments between 1875 and 1877 and considered one of the pinnacles of world literature. Kitty's family is concerned that a man as altruistic as her husband does not consider himself to be a Christian. "[1] Since surnames are not gendered in English, proponents of the first convention—removing the Russian 'a' to naturalize the name into English—argue that it is more consistent with English naming practice, and should be followed in an English translation. She is also unable to keep pace with Anna's fashionable dresses or Vronsky's extravagant spending on a hospital he is building. Tolstoy wants this to be a frame through which readers consider the entire story. Anna Karenina is the story of a woman’s tragic self-destruction as she pursues an affair with a younger man, Vronsky, in pursuit of something better than the cold and distant relationship she has with her husband. Tolstoy sets us up with it—do you want to be happy or do you want to be unique? Anna, desperate to regain at least some of her former position in society, attends a show at the theatre at which all of St. Petersburg's high society are present. Vronsky makes an emotional request to Dolly, asking her to convince Anna to divorce Karenin so that the two might marry and live normally. I will be looking forward to your reply. With this first line, Tolstoy puts family first among them. While I don’t completely agree, I love Oblonsky’s confidence, vigor, and determination to enjoy life and live in the present.
