"Anna Karenina" kokkuvõte
Stiva has been the one asking Karenin to divorce Anna all along. Karenin finally asks Stiva to come late
one night to Countess Lydia's, where he will share with Stiva his decision on the divorce from Anna.
There, Stiva learns something strange about Karenin from Lydia: Karenin has "fallen under the influence"
of a clairvoyant named Landau. This mysterious man apparently has thrown society for a loop, even
causing one socialite to adopt him and dub him Count Bezzubov. Lydia tells Stiva that Karenin will do
whatever Landau advises. We see Landau enter into a trance, muttering weird words and listening for
voices. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Landau tells Stiva he must leave. The very next morning, Stiva gets a
note saying the divorce cannot happen. Landau is a fake. By coming under his sway, Karenin and
Countess Lydia show that they really don't have any true religious feelings in their hearts. Karenin is
using religion as a ploy to further punish Anna
