I am only a quarter of a way through Anna Karenina - I made a bet with a certain professional muse that I would give away all my books unless I finish it before she does War and Peace and look set to lose them - but I've already learned a considerable number of new words. Those Russian gentry were extremely civilized and spoke several languages as well as being careful to keep abreast of everything happening in science and culture - so much so that I've been shamed into trying to learn Russian.
Anna Karenina was Tolstoy's second novel (actually, he claimed that War and Peace was not a novel but something different and unique, with which I have sympathy.) He wrote and set it in the 1870s, the Russia of his own lifetime, rather than the historical period of War and Peace, however the milieu is much the same; decadent Petersburg aristocrats are contrasted with earthy, existentialising country squires and Muscovites. Personally, I like all of them.
