"This novel, which is precisely that—a novel, the first in my life, has really gripped me, I am wholly absorbed in It..." Tolstoy wrote In May 1873 as he began Anna Karenina. Contemporaries were struck by the "every-dayness" of the book that followed War and Peace. Here Tolstoy combined free and unfettered narrative with a view of life integrally his own, Ivan Goncharov, the patriarch of Russian novelists, said about it: "This is something quite without precedent, a pioneering work. Is there any writer among us who can match it? And who in Europe can offer anything of the kind?" It was an opinion endorsed by Dostoyevsky who found in Tolstoy's novel "a tremendous psychological handling of the human soul" and a realism of portrayal such as had never been seen before. Time has confirmed these contemporary judgements. Anna Karenina has become one of the greatest social novels in world literature. Fyodor Dostoyevsky found in Anna Karenina “everything of any importance in our currant Russian political and social issues, and concentrated: in one place." Vladimir Korolenko, wrote: "Tolstoy's world is a world fooded with sunlight, simple and bright, in which all the reflections, in size, proportion and light and shade, correspond to the phenomena of reality."
