"All happy families are alike, and each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." -"Anna Karenina "
Appreciation of works: "Anna? Karenina is one of the most important masterpieces of Tolstoy, a famous Russian writer. As soon as this work came out, it attracted people's attention. Russian contemporary writer Dostoevsky even thinks it is "a perfect work of art" and "no similar works can be compared with it" in modern European literature. Anna? Karenina is really a great work. As a realistic writer, Tolstoy created an unparalleled picture of Russian social life in 1970s. The Russian poet Fett said that the author seems to have put the whole era into this novel.
Reflect the times: "Anna? Karenina was written in the 1970s (1873- 1877). At that time, Russia was in a period of great historical change, and the feudal landlords in ancient Russia were violently impacted by the wave of capitalism in Western Europe. " Everything is upside down, and everything is just beginning to be established. "It means that the old feudal aristocratic order has been subverted and the capitalist system has just begun to be established. In this historical period of the alternation of the old and the new, what attracts Tolstoy's attention most is the change of family and the fate of women. Family tragedies emerge one after another, and scenes unfold before his eyes, and the news that a woman committed suicide on the railroad track because of love issues particularly shocked and saddened him. This could be his creation, Anna? The direct cause of Karenina.
Creation process: Tolstoy really spent a lot of effort in creating this novel. Tolstoy began to conceive this novel as early as 1870. He told his wife, "I think of a typical married but miserable woman from the upper class." He said: "My task is to write this woman pitifully and innocently." 1873, he began to write. In a letter to his relatives, his wife said that his work was "a novel based on modern life". The plot of the novel is "describing an unfaithful wife and all the tragedies arising from it". He wrote according to this idea. At first, he wrote very smoothly, and the first draft was completed in about a month. But it took him nearly five years to finish the novel. It was not until 1875 that the novel began to be published in the Russian Herald. 1878 just issued the first order. In this long creative process, he gradually expanded the scope of the theme, deepened the connotation of the theme and strengthened the intensity of the theme. As a result, this novel has developed from a family tragedy caused by his wife's infidelity to a grand historical picture that reflects the vast and complicated Russian social life in the 1960s and 1970s by telling family stories.
