Critic and Professor Bob Blaisdell unravels Tolstoy’s family, literary, and day-to-day life during the period that he conceived, drafted, abandoned, and revised Anna Karenina.

Nicht der Leser ist der "Dummie“, es ist auch nicht die auffällig oft auftretende Figur in der russischen Literatur (nicht nur) sondern es sind ebenso die Autoren und ihre Anhänger, die sich der Anmaßung dieser Literaten gedankenlos unterwerfen. Denn mal ehrlich: Was ist das Großartige, das Weltverändernde an der russischen Literatur, der russischen Seele? Dass sie das von sich selber glaubt? Ist ihre Literatur unter all dem Größenwahn tatsächlich eine gute? Sir Galahad, die leuchtende Rittergestalt, ist dem Phänomen im Jahre 1925 auf der Spur.
