Translated by Elias Economopoulos
A renowned novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of love, infidelity, and the complexities of societal norms through the lives of its characters. Central to the story are the tumultuous relationships within the Oblonsky family, particularly focusing on the turmoil caused by Prince Stepan Arkadyevitch Oblonsky's affair and its impact on his wife, Dolly. The opening of ''Άννα Καρένιν'' sets the stage for the unfolding drama within the Oblonsky household, which is thrown into chaos after Dolly discovers her husband's infidelity with a French governess. The narrative captures the emotional turmoil faced by both spouses as they grapple with the fallout of this betrayal. As Prince Oblonsky wrestles with guilt and the disintegration of his marriage, his sister, the titular Anna Karenina, is introduced as a potential unifying figure in this familial discord, creating anticipation for her arrival and the implications it holds for the characters involved.
