Anna Karenina is a novel of unparalleled richness & complexity, set against the backdrop of Russian high society. Tolstoy charts the course of the doomed love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, & Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer who pursues Anna after becoming infatuated with her at a ball. Although she initially resists his charms Anna eventually succumbs, falling passionately in love & setting in motion a chain of events that lead to her downfall. In this extraordinary novel Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together the lives of dozens of characters, while evoking a love so strong that those who experience it are prepared to die for it. ...

Now the subject of a major new film adaptation from director Joe Wright (” Atonement”, ” Pride & Prejudice”), Leo Tolstoy`s ” Anna Karenina” is translated by award-winning duo Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky in ” Penguin Classics”. Starring Keira Knightley (”A Dangerous Method”) as Anna Karenina, Jude Law (” Sherlock Holmes”) as her husband Alexei, Aaron Johnson (” Nowhere Boy”) as Count Vronsky, & also starring Matthew Mc Fadyen, Andrea Riseborough & Kelly Macdonald, this dazzling production of ” Anna Karenina” is adapted for the screen by legendary playwright Tom Stoppard. Anna Karenina seems to have everything
- beauty, wealth, popularity & an adored son. But she feels that her life is empty until the moment she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society & family alike, & soon brings jealousy & bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this tale of love & self-destruction is the vividly observed story of Konstantin Levin, a man striving to find contentment & meaning to his life
- & also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself. Acclaimed as the definitive English version of Tolstoy`s masterpiece, this edition contains an introduction by Richard Pevear & a preface by John Bayley. Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) spent his youth in wasteful idleness until 1851, when he travelled to the Caucasus & joined the army, fighting in the Crimean war. After marrying in 1862, Tolstoy settled down, managing his estates & writing two of his best-known novels, ” War & Peace” (1869) & ” Anna Karenina” (1878). ”A Confession” (1879-82) marked a spiritual crisis in his life, & in 1901 he was excommunicated by the Russian Holy Synod. ” William Faulkner, it`s said, was once asked to name the three best novels ever. He replied: ” Anna Karenina, Anna Karenina, Anna Karenina”. If you don`t recall why, rush to buy a fine new translation by Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky”. (Boyd Tonkin, ” Independent”).

Considered to be Leo Tolstoy's most personal novel, Anna Karenina is an epic tale which scrutinizes fundamental moral & theological questions through the impassioned & tragic story of its eponymous heroine. Anna is desperately pursuing a good, 'moral' life, standing for honesty & sincerity, but this flies in the face of the morally corrupt Russian bourgeoisie. In the background to Anna's tale, the aristocrat Konstantin Levin is struggling to reconcile reason with passion, espousing a Christian anarchism that Tolstoy himself believed in. Championed by Nabokov & adored by Doestoevsky, Anna Karenina displays a poignant realism & innovative lyricism that makes it one of the most perfect, enduring novels of all time. ...

Anna Karenina is one of the most loved & memorable heroines of literature. Her overwhelming charm dominates a novel of unparalleled richness & density. Tolstoy considered this book to be his first real attempt at a novel form, & it addresses the very nature of society at all levels, - of destiny, death, human relationships & the irreconcilable contradictions of existence. It ends tragically, & there is much that evokes despair, yet set beside this is an abounding joy in life`s many ephemeral pleasures, & a profusion of comic relief. ...
