They often talk in French, so I need to be efficient in two languages to fully enjoy the novel.

O.K. At least I can read the title. I think I have made good progress.

The first sentence reads “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”, but I have seen none of the words before..

I do not know why the author’s name, Лев Никола́евич Толсто́й, is spelled differently in the first figure.
