Chapter 1

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in

its own way.

Everything was in confusion in the Oblonskys' house. The wife had

discovered that the husband was carrying on an intrigue with a

French girl, who had been a governess in their family, and she

had announced to her husband that she could not go on living in

the same house with him. This position of affairs had now lasted

three days, and not only the husband and wife themselves, but all

the members of their family and household, were painfully

conscious of it. Every person in the house felt that there was no

sense in their living together, and that the stray people brought

together by chance in any inn had more in common with one another

than they, the members of the family and household of the

Oblonskys. The wife did not leave her own room, the husband had

not been at home for three days.
