Der Roman aus der Epoche des russischen Realismus gibt einen tiefgründigen Einblick in das Leben und die Lebensanschauungen der russischen Aristokratie des 19. Jahrhunderts. Mehr noch begeistert er durch die bis ins kleinste Detail mit großer Menschenkenntnis dargestellten Charaktere, deren Wesen Tolstoi uns weitestgehend durch ihre Art zu sprechen, denken, handeln und ihre "Kreise" auszuwählen näher bringt.Seitensprünge sind in der besseren Gesellschaft durchaus üblich, jedoch nicht solche von der Art, wie Anna Karenina ihn begeht. Auch gelten für Ehebruch bei Frauen andere Maßstäbe ...
