Anna Karénina, que Tolstói empezó a escribir en 1873 y fuera publicada en 1878, es una exhaustiva disquisición sobre la institución familiar y, quizá ante todo, como dice Víctor Gallego (autor de esta nueva traducción), «una fábula sobre la búsqueda de la felicidad». La idea de que la felicidad no consiste en la satisfacción de los deseos preside la detallada descripción de una galería espléndida de personajes que conocen la incertidumbre y la decepción, el vértigo y el tedio, los mayores placeres y las más tristes miserias.

A statesman in the oldest mold, he argues for nationalist dominance against forces temporal and religious.

"Ma vie" est l'autobiographie du révolutionnaire russe Léon Trotsky, écrite durant son exil et publiée en 1929. "Je ne puis nier que ma vie n'a pas été des plus ordinaires.

La Muerte de Ivan Ilich simboliza una crítica directa de Tolstói a lo que él consideraba una vida sin sentido. Nuestro personaje, Ivan Ilich, es uno de tantos burócratas de la época quien vive su vida en la trivialidad, carente de empatía y con total indiferencia por cualquier persona o cosa que no interfiera con su cómoda existencia; hasta que un hecho trágico cambia su perspectiva de la vida.
