Anna Karenina has everything society expects of her - a respectable marriage, a place in Petersburg's elite, a young son she adores - until she falls for the dashing Count Vronsky and risks it all. Tolstoy weaves her story alongside that of Konstantin Levin, a landowner searching for meaning far from the ballrooms and scandal, in a sweeping portrait of Russian society caught between duty and desire.
One of the towering achievements of world literature - as sharp on love and hypocrisy today as when it was written.
A long, rich classic for readers ready to fully sink into it.
