In case you had a hard time getting through all 868 pages of Leo Tolstoy's iconic novel, Anna Karenina (published in 1877), here is an animated summary!
Animation and narration by Chloe Matonis (@HardlyWholesome).
Songs: Russian Winter and The Bogatyr.
I still recommend reading the novel, it's delightful. Enjoy!!

3:55 I beg to disagree, to me, Levin’s “illumination” was the part that touched me the most and stuck with me. I loved how insightful his parts were on religion, death and man’s condition. I loved the part when he was working by his men’s side, I felt like I read through it with more pleasure than I did throughout the whole book, because it was so beautiful to see him find himself

I wonder what happened to Anna’s second baby. And did Alexei (stud guy) really love her? Or was she just a conquest to him, and then he was bored? I feel Anna put everything on the line for her lover. But Alexei was not feeling as passionate after she became his conquest. Am I wrong?
@nchamundi1

Vronsky truly loved Anna. Anna driven by her ostracization and being an outcast was becoming paranoid. As the book suggests, after Annas death Vronsky was so despaired and distressed he couldn't function normal for few weeks. And then he volunteered for a war in Serbia. He lost his motive to live..

I especially appreciate the commentary, acting like a guide, you don't just bring up events but let us know what they symbolize. To the extent that a massive text can be summarized in an easy to digest video, you have done a great job.

Thank you for this synopsis. It was very hilarious. But my favorite character in this novel was Konstantin, "farmer Jesus." And I found his chapters very engaging. More so than Anna's chapters. Deeper and more insightful. Anna's chapters were more colorful but one dimensional in her meditations. Just my opinion:)

Ohh snap, you left out that all the well to do's are corrupt. Also Anna has BPD, her husband isn't leaving her so much as her paranoia is affecting her. Also, Tolstoy wrote as himself during a period of suicidal depression (despite being more than comfortable) so the farmer finding purpose was a cry for deeper understanding in the feilds themselves.

She was never married to Vronsky. Therefore, Vronsky was never her “husband”. And while it’s left to the reader’s interpretation, there’s some clues to suggest that Vronsky was indeed unfaithful to Anna.

@@emiliawilson4378 please reread what I said. I said that she was never married to Vronsky. She was married to Alexey. Society condemned Anna because she has committed an affair with Vronsky and has neglected her duties and obligations as a wife and as a mother for a life of passion.

Based on the Introduction, 'Farmer Jesus' is based on Leo Tolstoy and I doubt that someone with narcissim would write themselves as so irascibly shy they need someone to guide them through a group of people. This dude is so shy that when he gives his own views he, "spoke as hotly as if someone had spoke out against him." When nobody was bothering with him in that scene. That to me, really doesn't define someone who is so enamored with themselves that they think they're so great. I'd think he was a narcissit if he had based Stepan on himself. But Levin is to Leo in this book.

Here I am, three years after you made this, thinking to myself, maybe I should broaden what I read. Tolstoy is recommended. I get a copy of him and think to myself, maybe a bit of a condensed version will help me through it. So this pops up while I'm driving to the total wine in Albuquerque, and now I will forever have to think of Tolstoy as Mr Potato Jesus as I buy a liter of potato vodka. Somehow, it all connects. Thank you for helping me on my literary journey.

yes! I originally used the nickname "Farmer Jesus" because my professor told us that Tolstoy was very religious, and he wanted Lenin's character to be allegorical for Jesus. Of course that could just have been my prof's interpretation. If I could go back and change Lenin's nickname I would, since it's confusing in this context. I did not mean to imply that Lenin was deeply religious throughout the novel :)
