Anna Karenina











Tolstoy's epic novel of love, destiny and self-destruction, in a gorgeous new clothbound edition
Anna Karenina seems to have everything - beauty, wealth, popularity and 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 and family alike and soon brings jealously and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this tale of love and self-destruction is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life - and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself.

Praise for Anna Karenina
The new and brilliantly witty translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky is a must
Lisa Appignanesi, Independent, Books of the Year
Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and vivid stylists of English, and their superb rendering allows us, as perhaps never before, to grasp the palpability of Tolstoy's "characters, acts, situations"
James Wood, New Yorker
