Morson argues that Tolstoy's ideas are far more radical than has been thought: his masterpiece challenges deeply held conceptions of romantic love, the process of social reform, modernization, and the nature of good and evil. By investigating the ethical, philosophical, and social issues with which Tolstoy grappled, Morson finds in \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e powerful connections with the concerns of today. He proposes that Tolstoy's effort to see the world more wisely can deeply inform our own search for wisdom in the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book offers brilliant analyses of Anna, Karenin, Dolly, Levin, and other characters, with a particularly subtle portrait of Anna's extremism and self-deception. Morson probes Tolstoy's important insights (evil is often the result of negligence; goodness derives from small, everyday deeds) and completes the volume with an irresistible, original list of One Hundred and Sixty-Three Tolstoyan Conclusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Saul Morson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300100701\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300100709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/05\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 7.03w x 0.90d","brand":"Gary Saul Morson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46070230548735,"sku":"9780300100709","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d90586d9-3e91-4fff-801c-21688740e5b2.jpg?v=1724242645","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anna-karenina-in-our-time-gary-saul-morson-9780300100709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
