Anna Karenina (Hollis)

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
Two protagonists:
        Anna - older husband - mother - infatuation with Vronsky - adultery - guilt - doubt - depression - suicide
        Levin - rejection - farmer - brothers - acceptance by Kitty - happy country life - search for faith - resolution of search - happy country life
If the book has a third protagonist it is the Russian people who in the latter part of the nineteenth century were searching for a better life. It is interesting for the reader to consider the journey they took after the events in Anna Karena and how after all the events of the twentieth century this search is still their story.
