Tolstoy skillfully intertwines the personal dramas of the characters with broad social and philosophical questions, making the novel relevant even today. Critics also highlight the magnificence of Tolstoy's language and style, his ability to convey the subtlest nuances of emotions and thoughts. «Anna Karenina» is not just a story of love and betrayal, but a deep reflection on human destiny, morality, and the meaning of life.
