(Russia) Tolstoy 
Anna Karenina 

The work tells the story of Anna, a noble woman pursuing love and happiness. However, she was hurt badly by the hypocrisy of Karenin and the indifference and selfishness of Vronsky. She finally killed herself on the railway and died at the train station. The planter, Levin, opposed the private ownership of land, resisted the capitalist system and showed sympathy for the poor peasants. However, he could not get rid of the aristocratic habits and fell into the irreconcilable contradiction. The contradictory time period, the contradictory system, the contradictory characters and the contradictory psychology make the whole book bumpy in the vortex of contradiction. This novel is a portrayal of the tense and terrified Russian society at the transition from the old to the new.
