ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"The magnificent, beautiful Ana Karenina, never more gorgeous, is the sun at midnight." Leo Tolstoy wrote that Anna Karenina was the author of a "top quality, notable book". Here is the account of how the pages of that work were discovered.

January, 1905. St. Petersburg. Anarchists attempt to quell the mass demonstration led by Father Gap n with an attack; the beautiful Clementine places the bomb on the streetcar that crosses the frozen Neva River. Ms. Karenina's children, who carry the weight of the beautiful woman who killed herself, are going to the opera. The czar has shown interest in acquiring a portrait of Ana for his collection. Upon rooting through the cellr to find this portrait, a box is discovered that contains two versions of Ana's manuscript. The first even received acclaim by a potential editor. But Ana hadn't agreed and ended up rewriting her novel. The second manuscript is this text. Ana's Book takes up the themes of children's stories, and by interweaving them, paints a portrait of her extreme exasperation. In this intimate, surprising novel, the characters become real people and vice versa in an interesting game of mirrors that ultimately resolves more than one mystery.
