Description

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy In 1872, a tragic event near Tolstoy's home inspired him to write one of literature's most enduring novels. Anna Karenina tells the story of an aristocratic woman who brings ruin upon herself, her tale intertwined with the lives of many other characters. Rich in incident and powerful in characterization, this novel expresses Tolstoy's own moral vision. Tolstoy moved away from the sweeping historical narrative of War and Peace to focus on a single, deeply human story. The result is a work that not only explores the complexities of individual experience but also raises fundamental questions about the artist's duty. This novel is a masterful exploration of the human condition, one that continues to resonate with readers today. Oxford World's Classics has made this masterpiece available in an affordable and authoritative edition, featuring expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
