Anna Karenina — Book in a Minute by Kisa Anna Karenina seems to have everything — status, family, and respect — but falls passionately in love with officer Vronsky. Choosing desire over social rules, she is rejected by society and slowly loses everything. While her world collapses, Tolstoy contrasts her tragedy with Levin’s search for meaning, faith, and a simple honest life. The novel ends as a powerful story about love, freedom, and the crushing weight of judgment. #book #explain

“Morphine” by Mikhail Bulgakov — Book in a Minute by Kisa A young doctor starts using morphine to ease pain — and slowly falls into addiction. What begins as medical necessity turns into obsession, lies, and self-destruction. The story is a dark, honest look at how easily control is lost and how addiction quietly kills from the inside. #book #explain
