I did not hesitate to name Anna Karenina the greatest social novel of all time.
Thomas Mann
He sees the world from behind the scenes of politics and society, whilst most of us are sitting to be gulled in the pit.
George Bernard Shaw
If a man could but write like Tolstoy and have all the world listen to him
Theodore Dreiser
A distinguishing feature of Anna Karenina is the novel's trueness of life. The readers recognised themselves and their contemporaries in its characters and found a response in it to all the most important events of that time. It was one of the most complex periods in Russian history, when, after the abolition of serfdom, in Tolstoy's own words, "everything had been overturned and was only just beginning to fall into place"-the activities of the Zemstvos, the military reforms, education, the reaction of Russian society to the struggle of the Slav peoples for liberation from the Turkish yoke and so on, together with the more specific and personal details of life at various levels of Moscow and St. Petersburg society and of the Russian countryside.
