“All happy families are alike, but every unhappy family has its own way of being unhappy.” From the novel “Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy. What if famous literary characters were freed from the prison of their original novels and came out into real life to live with us, and even to haunt us like ghosts? This question might come to your mind as you read the pages of this novel. Perhaps its title, “The Damned Vronsky,” provoked your imagination, evoking the name of one of the most famous characters in world literature: Colonel Alexei Vronsky, the lover of Anna Karenina, the heroine of Tolstoy’s immortal novel. Beyond the clear intertextuality between the two novels, this novel presents, among other reading levels, the psychological conflicts that plague married life. It presents us with a middle-class hero who lives a monotonous life with the wife he loves, but one day he is surprised by her disappearance, and his life is turned upside down. The writer then takes us on a journey resembling a detective adventure, in which he dives into the depths of the hero who refuses to admit At the end of a significant phase of his life, he clings to his relationship with his wife despite the "ghosts" that hover over it. The author also presents a new vision of the duality of life and death on the one hand, and of the concepts of imagination, love, obsession, abandonment, and friendship on the other.
