Summary "Anna Karénine, Tome I" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a novel written in the late 19th century. This literary work delves into the complexities of love and family dynamics, primarily focusing on the tumultuous life of its titular character, Anna Karénine, and the consequences of her affair with Count Vronsky, set against the backdrop of Russian society. The opening of "Anna Karénine" introduces us to the disarray within the Oblonsky household, where the patriarch, Stépane Arcadiévitch Oblonsky, has caused a scandal by engaging in an affair with a governess. His wife, Dolly, is devastated and has declared she can no longer live with him, creating a tense atmosphere marked by bitterness and neglect among the family members. The narrative shifts perspectives between Stépane, who feels remorseful yet detached, and Dolly, who grapples with her feelings of betrayal and love. As the story unfolds, the consequences of Stépane's actions ripple through their home, hinting at the broader themes of infidelity, societal norms, and personal redemption that will be explored throughout the novel.
