'Anna Karenina' is the best novel about a woman written in the 19th century. According to F. M. Dostoevsky, 'Anna Karenina' astonished contemporaries 'not only with the everyday nature of its content, but with the enormous psychological development of the human soul, with its terrible depth and power'. Already by the beginning of the 1900s, Tolstoy's novel had been translated into many languages of the world, and today it is part of the golden fund of world literature.
