I trust that Team Toobworld knows that the character of Anna Karenina originated
in BookWorld. However, I'll bet there are a lot of younger people out there
who'll think Keira Knightley's new movie - which opened yesterday - is an
original story......

From Wikipedia:
"Anna Karenina" is a novel by the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy, published in
serial installments from 1873 to 1877 in the periodical "The Russian Messenger".
Tolstoy clashed with its editor Mikhail Katkov over political issues that arose
in the final installment (Tolstoy's unpopular views of volunteers going to
Serbia); therefore, the novel's first complete appearance was in book
form.
Widely regarded as a pinnacle in realist fiction, Tolstoy considered "Anna Karenina" his first true novel, when he came to consider "War and Peace" to be more than a novel.
Princess Anna Arkadyevna Karenina was Stepan
Oblonsky's sister, Karenin's wife and Vronsky's lover.
"Anna Karenina" is the tragedy of married aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story starts when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though with less tolerance for her by others.
A bachelor, Vronsky is willing to marry her if she would agree to leave her husband Karenin, a government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, her own insecurities and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky eventually takes Anna to Europe where they can be together, they have trouble making friends.
Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity, fears losing control.
