«THERE IS NO END OF COMMENTS»: «ANNA KARENINA» BY L.TOLSTOY IN CONTEMPORARIES’ PERCEPTION
Keywords:
L.N. Tolstoy,Abstract
The article examines the perception of L.N. Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina" by his contemporaries. An analysis of the conflicting assessments of the novel leads to the conclusion that Tolstoy's contemporaries were unable to grasp its true meaning. This is seen as a result of their failure to understand the ideological and compositional role of the character Konstantin Levin, and the nature of the relationship between the two plotlines of Anna and Levin within the novel's artistic structure. In other words, the contemporaries failed to see the "inner castle" (L.N. Tolstoy) that ensures the artistic unity of the novel.
