In his new book, Pavel Basinsky continues his literary investigation. Re-reading the most mysterious work of Leo Tolstoy, his drafts and diaries, Basinsky tries to find the answer to the main questions. Why is Konstantin Levin needed in Anna Karenina? Why does Tolstoy give him (with and without Kitty) half of his novel? How is Levin reflected in the other heroes of the novel - Oblonsky, Vronsky, Anna and even Karenin? Who is the prototype of Konstantin Levin? Tolstoy himself or, as always, is everything much more complicated? The book is illustrated with photographs from the archives of the State Museum of Leo Tolstoy and the Yasnaya Polyana Estate Museum. The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
