Anna Karenina

About

The power of Tolstoy's novel, with its ability to challenge the passage of time, has dragged along with it Anna, the protagonist, who is now part of the collective imagination, as well as her tragic end. Galatea Ranzi embodies the rebellion against a suffocating marriage, the overwhelming love that leads her to be banished from society and estranged from her children. The impossibility of finding a new place in the moralistic Russian society of the time is the ruin of the woman, who makes this story a true indictment against the conformist and puritanical attitude of nineteenth-century Petersburg.
