"This new edition first published by Alma Classics in 2014"--T.p verso.

Translated from the Russian.

"Everything you've heard and read about Anna Karenina is true. It is one of the most exciting, romantic, daring, charming, witty and altogether moving reading experiences anyone can have. And you don't have to slog through pages and chapters to find its truth and beauty. It's right there from the first famous sentence: 'All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way'." -- Youth Services Team, HPL.

"Leo Tolstoy’s most personal novel, Anna Karenina scrutinizes fundamental ethical and theological questions through the tragic story of its eponymous heroine. Anna is desperately pursuing a good, “moral” life, standing for honesty and sincerity. Passion drives her to adultery, and this flies in the face of the corrupt Russian bourgeoisie. Meanwhile, the aristocrat Konstantin Levin is struggling to reconcile reason with passion, espousing a Christian anarchism that Tolstoy himself believed in. Acclaimed by critics and readers alike, Anna Karenina presents a poignant blend of realism and lyricism that makes it one of the most perfect, enduring novels of all time."--Publisher.
