Anna Karenina

Set in mid-19th-century Russia, this book tells the story of a married woman's passion for a young officer and of her tragic fate.

Anna Karenina is the story of a woman who abandons her empty existence as a society wife and embarks on a doomed love affair with the passionate but emotionally bankrupt Vronsky. It is widely acknowledged as the greatest novel in any language.

One of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina combines penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of Russian life in the 1870s. The novel takes us from high society St Petersburg to the threshing fields on Levin's estate, with unforgettable scenes at a Moscow ballroom, the skating rink, a race course, a railway station. It creates an intricate labyrinth of connections that is profoundly satisfying, and deeply moving.
