Anna Karenina - Unabridged
ByPublisher Description
"Anna Karenina" is Leo Tolstoy's epic novel of love, marriage, betrayal and class tension set amid the declining years of late 19th-century Imperial Russia. A monumental literary achievement, this book has long been hailed as one of the greatest Russian novels ever written.
The plot centers on the long-term extramarital affair between the married Anna Karenina and her lover, the rich aristocrat and cavalry officer Count Vronsky. As the book opens, we learn that Vronsky is eager for Anna to leave her husband and start a new life with him. The couple flees to Italy so they can finally be together, but when life abroad turns sour, they return to Russia, only to face a society that has turned its back on Anna for her infidelity.
The story winds its way through multiple sub-plots and various themes, which includes the tension between country and city life, religion, marriage, family strife and even suicide. It is sweeping in scale and has been studied and praised by literary critics for well over a century.
"Anna Karenina" is presented here in its original and unabridged format, as translated by Constance Garnett from the Russian.
