Description

Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is a tale of love, beauty, and the emptiness that can lie beneath a life of luxury. The story follows Anna, a woman with everything, yet feeling unfulfilled, as she embarks on a passionate affair with the charismatic Count Vronsky. Their scandalous relationship sets off a chain of events that exposes the darker side of society and family. In contrast, the story of Konstantin Levin offers a poignant exploration of the human search for meaning and contentment. This vividly observed tale is a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself, as he grapples with the complexities of life and the search for spiritual connection. Translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, this Penguin Classics edition of Anna Karenina includes an introduction by the translators and a preface by John Bayley.
