'One of the greatest love stories in world literature' Vladimir Nabokov
The heroine of Tolstoy's epic of love and self-destruction, Anna Karenina has
beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son, but feels that her life is empty
until she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent
affair scandalizes society and family alike, and brings jealousy and bitterness
in its wake. Contrasting with this 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. This award-winning translation has been
acclaimed as the definitive English version of Tolstoy's masterpiece.
Translated by RICHARD PEVEAR and LARISSA VOLOKHONSKY with a Preface by JOHN
BAYLEY
