Anna Karina - Review

So I finished the audio book “Anna Karenina” a few days ago and here’s what I think:

Firstly, the title is misleading.  About half of the novel is not about Anna or Vronsky or even Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin, the guy who was unlucky enough to marry Anna (I guess you can already tell that I'm not a big fan of hers). A huge part of the book is also about Konstantin Dmitrievich Lëvin and his love for Kitty (Princess Ekaterina Alexandrovna Shcherbatskaya), the Oblonskys, Stiva (Stepan "Stiva" Arkadyevich Oblonsky) and his wife Dolly (Darya Alexandrovna Oblonskaya, Kitty's older sister), the families of these characters ... and farming, religion and politics.

You have to know that before you read that book. You will have to deal with seemingly endless monologues about the aforementioned three topics. Are there any characters to root for? Personally, I only really liked Stiva.

And Laska, Lëvin's dog, who actually gets two or three POV chapters.

I couldn't have cared less if the others had joined Anna on her way to the train station. Except for Anna's children, I actually felt sorry for them.

But let's start from the beginning.

The writing style is beautiful and vivid and the only thing that kept me going through some parts of the book. I liked the symbolism Tolstoy works with (the race horse Frou-Frou for example) and the various point of views.

The story is actually interesting and would be even more so if it wasn't constantly interrupted by page-long discussions, inner monologues and descriptions about agriculture and other topics that have nothing to do with the story. Call me ignorant, but I didn't care about most of it.

The characters are very vivid, you get to know them through and through, which is good, unfortunately it doesn't make most of them very likeable.

Anna is extremely obnoxious to me. She's spiteful, doesn't know what she wants, she has every possibility offered to her on a silver plate but is never brave enough to take it. People could have made it much harder for her, especially her husband (at least before he met Countess Lidia Ivanovna, until that he was actually quite understanding, especially after Anna almost dying), but they didn't. She's jealous, extremely selfish, can't find anything good in anybody, not even her own daughter, she's very quick to blame all her "misery" on others and she's so full of self-pity that it's hard to stand. Towards the end, all I wanted was for her to finally go to the train station and end everybody's misery (including my own).

Vronsky is far more sympathetic than Anna and I really felt sorry for him in the end. He might have been a little immature, especially in the beginning, but compared to Anna or Lëvin he wasn't all too bad.

Konstantin Dmitrievich Lëvin is another character I can't stand. Sorry, I know he's everybody's favourite and the character Tolstoy himself identifies with, but every time I started to like him even a little he was sure to ruin it very quickly. His self-pity matches Anna's, he doesn't know what he wants (except for Kitty and when he gets her he's still not happy but jealous and distrustful), he changes his opinions and feelings about almost everything and everyone extremely quickly and is on the top of that so naive that it's hard to believe he's over 30 years old. To me he seems like an overgrown child and not like an adult, an annoying and sometimes very unfair child.

Kitty is alright, nothing special, but I mostly liked her.

As I already mentioned, the only character I really, really liked was Stiva. He brightens up every scene he's in. Yes, I know, he cheats on Dolly, but I still like him.

As to Karenin - on the one hand I feel sorry for him.  Anna is extremely unfair to him while he's (although understandably unhappy) trying to be decent and respectful. What I didn't like about him was how he treats his son and how he makes him suffer for Anna's infidelity at times.  

His character becomes more annoying under the influence of Countess Lidia (a horrible woman, I have no more to say about her) but I guess I understand his motivations. He didn't have anyone he could turn to and so he clings to her, to religion and to ... a weird French psychic. Seriously, after that scene I was just as dumbfounded as Stiva.

Anyway - did I enjoy "Anna Karenina"? I guess I did at times. Tolstoy's writing is extremely good, when it's actually about the characters the story is interesting, although often frustrating.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have minded Tolstoy adding some information about politics and for all I care even agriculture, but these endless rants are very hard to get through.

The Audio book

I listened to the German audio book masterfully read by Ulrich Noethen.

It’s unabridged and the translation (although I don’t know how accurate) seems very well-done and coherent. 

The audio book, Noethen’s reading and the translation deserve no less than five stars.
