“Ana Karenina” is a key work of Leo Tolstoy in which one can see the main signs of identity of the great Russian Realism: fine social criticism and a multitude of characters with an astonishing psychological profundity. The misfortune of Anna Karenina and her ambition for being part of a hypocritical society, which marginalises her for being an adulterous woman but forgives her lover´s outrages, make us reflect on women´s invisibility and offer us at the same time, a monumental fresco of Russia in the 19th century and all its contradictions. Without a doubt, Anna is one of the most moving characters in the history of literature.

“If one loves anyone, one loves the whole person, just as they are and not as one would like them to be.” - Leo Tolstoy.
