Hi, I’m here because I wonder what I can read after Anna Karenina. I loved the way Tolstoj approaches and describes his characters in this book, specifically their thoughts, and I loved how human and dislikeable they are.
I thought about getting some of his other works but most people say this is his masterpiece so I don’t know – it’s the only thing I read from him.
Recommendations? Doesn’t necessarily have to be classic russian literature but I do enjoy the historical aristocratic thingie – I would also appreciate something more modern/contemporary though, as long as it has human-like characters

“War and Peace” has more of what you liked in Karenina and is definitely one of the classics that is worth reading despite it’s length! From other Russian classics “The Idiot” could be something you might enjoy.
Madame Bovary
Kirino
