This massive chronicle, to which Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) devoted five whole years shortly after his marriage, portrays Russian family life during and after the Napoleonic war.

Anna Karenina es, junto con la monumental Guerra y paz, una de las obras clave Lev Tolstoi, en la que vemos todas las señas de identidad del gran realismo ruso: fina crítica social y multitud de personajes con una profundidad psicológica asombrosa. Las desventuras de Anna Karenina y su afán por integrarse en una sociedad hipócrita que la margina por adúltera, pero perdona los desmanes de su amante, nos hacen reflexionar sobre la invisibilización de la mujer a la par que nos ofrecen un fresco monumental de la Rusia decimonónica y todas sus contradicciones. Together with the monumental War and Peace, Anna Karenina is one of Leo Tolstoy's most important works and a classic of Russian realism. It contains all the hallmarks of that genre, from pointed social critique to psychologically complex characters. Anna Karenina's misadventures and eagerness to integrate into a hypocritical society that condemns her for adultery, but pardons her lover's excesses, offer a portrait of nineteenth-century Russia in all its contradictions. It also encourages us to reflect on the way women are invisibilized in society.

Focusing on the essence of Christianity, this work distills the teachings of Jesus from the Four Gospels, excluding miracles and prophecies to reveal a core philosophy centered on the Unity of existence. Tolstoy emphasizes that God is inherent in all life, advocating for a profound understanding of love for God and one’s neighbor. The annotated Aziloth edition connects Tolstoy's insights directly to Gospel passages, offering a transformative perspective that resonates with both believers and agnostics, aiming to liberate readers from the illusions of selfhood.

Exploring themes of education, morality, and traditional Russian culture, the collection showcases Tolstoy's mastery of the short story form for both children and adults.

With a style marked by simplicity and transparency, the narratives invite readers into a vivid landscape filled with snow, bears, and deep human emotions.
