“Anna Karenina” is perhaps the most famous romance of love in world literature. Dostoevsky, who called Tolstoy “God God,” wrote about “Anna Karenina”: “This is a great work, a novel in the taste of Dickens and Balzac, far superior to all their novels.” Many artists, directors, actors, musicians turned in their work to the composition of Tolstoy, creating real masterpieces on stage and on the screen. The performances on Anna Karenina were staged by Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko and Roman Viktyuk, Peter Tchaikovsky and Rodion Shchedrin wrote music for the ballet, and the image of the main character was embodied in the cinema Greta Garbo and Vivien Lee, Alla Tarasova and Tatyana Samoilova, Jacqueline Bisset and Sophie Marso. Love and passion, duty and betrayal, family happiness and misfortune, a challenge to society and retribution – these are the topics that make this story deeply vital and worrying at all times.
