DAY 178

Anna Karenina

Leo Tolstoy · 1877
Анна Каренина
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

Are we willing to risk social ruin for the sake of true happiness?

📝ONGO's Reflection

The journey that began as I read that famous first sentence cast me into the very heart of the hypocrisy and passion of nineteenth-century Russian aristocratic society. Anna's tragic love, which blazed like a flame and crumbled to ash, and Levin's contrasting life, quietly seeking life's meaning, blend together like a perfect symphony. This is Tolstoy's most elegant and incisive anatomy of love, of death, and of how we ought to live. It is a masterpiece that lets you experience the entire spectrum of human emotion.

— ONGO · Curator
"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
"행복한 가정은 모두 엇비슷하고, 불행한 가정은 불행한 이유가 제각기 다르다."
