Description

Anna Karenina is a powerful meditation on love and marriage, envy and retribution, and the desire for happiness.

Considered one of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina is the story of Anna, her marriage to Karenin, a high-ranking government minister, and her affair with Vronsky, a wealthy and charismatic military officer. This impossible and destructive triangle is set against the courtship and marriage of Levin, a melancholy landowner, and Kitty, a beautiful young woman was also initially sought after by Vronsky. While Anna looks for happiness through loverashly defying the conventions of Russian society by leaving her husband and son to live with her lover, which finds her condemned and ostracized by her peers and prone to fits of jealousy that alienate VronskyLevin embarks on his own search for spiritual fulfillment through marriage, family, and hard work. Surrounding these two central plot threads are dozens of characters whom Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together, making Anna Karenina a breathtaking overview of nineteenth-century Russian society.
