Description

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Said to be ‘one of the greatest love stories in world literature’, Tolstoy’s narrative genius shines through in the portrait he paints of Russia in the latter part of the 19th century. Anna’s story is simple and timeless – bored by her calculating husband and eager to live life, rather than read about it in books, she falls in love. In Moscow and Petersburg, such scandals are the stuff of gossip, not tragedy, but Anna refuses to play society’s game: hers is a high passion, and though she tries to insist that her lover, Count Vronsky, share it, he begins to dread the very word ‘love’ and to hanker after simpler pleasures. Against this ruinous affair are set the stories of other loves, other marriages, including the cautious progress to happiness of Kitty and Levin. Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude.
