Description
Anna Karenina, a novel of love, destiny, and self-destruction, is set against the backdrop of Russian society in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Anna, a beautiful and wealthy woman who feels empty and unfulfilled until she meets Count Vronsky, an impetuous officer. Their affair scandalizes society and brings jealousy and bitterness in its wake.
Contrasting with this tale of love and self-destruction is the story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and meaning in his life. This novel is a vividly observed portrayal of Tolstoy's own struggles with faith and identity, as well as a commentary on the social conventions of his time.
A beautifully translated edition, this Penguin Classics hardcover features an introduction and preface by renowned translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, who won the PEN/Book of the Month Club Translation Prize in 2001.
