Here is a book of lingering power that resonates well its reality to its readers. Now I finally understood why they speak of Tolstoy as the "Master of Prose", for he is nothing less than a maestro of the discipline. But let not the majestic storytelling cloud the meaning behind the work and the message that the story portrays. It's about life. Anna Karenina is a living and moving portrait of life.
