Anna's tragedy is interwoven with not only the courtship and marriage of Kitty and Levin but also the lives of many other characters. Rich in incident, powerful in characterization, the novel also expresses Tolstoy's own moral vision. `The correct way of putting the question is the artist's duty', Chekhov once insisted, and Anna Karenina was the work he chose to make his point. It solves no problem, but it is deeply satisfying because all the questions are put correctly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leo Tolstoy","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":51800480514344,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/7482\/1928\/files\/anBn.jpg?v=1778102167","url":"https:\/\/hiddengembookco.ca\/products\/9781986084659","provider":"Hidden Gem Book Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
