Anna Karenina (IN: On Suicide: Great Writers on the Ultimate Question, edited by J Miller)

This is an excerpt from Tolstoy’s novel, Anna Karenina. In this excerpt, Anna reflects miserably that her husband does not love her with the passion in which she loves him. She wanders confusedly through a train-station, then remembers a man who threw himself in front of a train. She decides to do the same. She experiences doubt and tries to change her actions at the last moment. However, she is too late.
