About this listen

 Why does Anna Karenina feel terrifyingly modern? Dive deep into the psychological autopsy of Tolstoy's iconic characters with Dr. Shelf. We dissect Anna's devastating approach-avoidance conflict – where every step toward authentic feeling risks her world. Discover how her affair isn't about love, but a desperate awakening from a dissociative life. This isn't just 19th-century drama; it's a masterclass in psychological realism.The Book Therapist I Doctor Shelf Art Literary History & Criticism
