the Anférovs

  • First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 262

The Anférovs are glimpsed only in passing, as a family already in motion. Their brief mention leaves a quiet impression of people belonging to the everyday current of Russian life, present for a moment and then gone from view.

The Anférovs receive a single passing mention as a family who had left that morning. Tolstoy gives them no individual story or distinguishing portrait; they remain a brief trace of ordinary lives moving through the wider world of the novel.

Description

The Anférovs are identified only as a Russian family. No individual members’ ages, faces, hair, eyes, builds, or clothing are described, so their appearance cannot be specified beyond a family group in a Russian setting.
