En la San Petersburgo del siglo XIX, la esposa de un ministro imperial ruso provoca un escándalo en la alta sociedad por su romance con el conde Vronsky, un apuesto oficial de caballería. Ana Karenina es una de las mejores creaciones de Tolstoi, una obra de arte de gran perfección estética que no solo trata la historia sentimental de los personajes centrales, también se refiere a los altos estamentos de la Rusia de su época, llenos de figuras de la nobleza que vivían en el mejor de los mundos, mientras en el campo los siervos campesinos vivían como auténticos esclavos. Tolstoi fue cronista y crítico de esa sociedad. Con maestría narra todo el cuadro de un instante social y toda la gama de resplandores que fulgen en el carácter de los personajes y en la descripción de los escenarios. El campo, el paisaje y los trabajos rurales son reflejados aquí, como un poderoso espejo de la tierra rusa, de la cual, al escribir esta novela, Tolstoi llegó a ser considerado como el mayor intérprete.

El espíritu pacífico y conciliador de Turguénev con su eterna tendencia a la concordia le causó más de un estrago en su vida. Pocas veces una personalidad tan asequible ha sido objeto de tantos ataques. Tildado de revolucionario por los conservadores y de conservador por los revolucionarios, sus frecuentes viajes a Europa le costaron más de una crítica por parte de los eslavófilos. Su carácter aristocrático y su acicalado aspecto de «gentleman» inglés despertaron resquemores en sus adversarios ideológicos. Su visión lírica de la vida aúna en su obra el latido de la naturaleza con la vibración del alma humana. «Padres e hijos» es una obra sumamente trascendente para la historia de la literatura rusa. Se atribuye a esta obra una innegable influencia en la abolición de la servidumbre imperante en Rusia hasta 1861. Hay en ella, además, una descripción de la confrontación de dos ideales, el aristocrático y el nihilista. Turguénev culmina en esta obra el perfil de sus héroes portadores de dos tipologías, de dos ideales contrapuestos en constante pugna: entrega y sacrificio de la propia persona contra el yo dubitativo sobre el sentido de la propia existencia.
