Love and Happiness in Anna Karenina - 36" x 12" Poster

Anna Karenina has one of the greatest opening lines in all of literature: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” It’s a great line because it’s thought-provoking and so tightly written and clearly sets up an over-arching theme that carries throughout this Russian novel: happiness (and the lack thereof), especially around the romantic relationships of the eponymous Anna Karenina and her lover, Alexey, as well as between another couple, Kitty and Levin. This is a beautiful poster of an infographic taking a look at the text of the novel as data - making the case analytically for how happy the key characters are throughout the book, how interconnected they are and what might be contributing to their love and relative happiness throughout.
