Description
The greatest love story I've ever read - Andrew Davies
Anna Karenina is a novel of unparalleled richness and complexity, set against the backdrop of Russian high society. Tolstoy charts the course of the doomed love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer who pursues Anna after becoming infatuated with her at a ball.
Although she initially resists his charms, Anna eventually succumbs, falling passionately in love and setting in motion a chain of events that lead to her downfall. In this extraordinary novel, Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together the lives of dozens of characters, while evoking a love so strong that those who experience it are prepared to die for it.

Anna Karenina is often hailed as one of the greatest love stories in world literature, appreciated for its historical and human depth. The novel offers a profound insight into love and pain, which are central to human existence. Tolstoy's ability to penetrate the mind of a woman willing to sacrifice everything for love is seen as unmatched in literature, even if the character herself is not universally liked. Many readers find that the novel reveals new layers with each reading, leaving a lasting impact.
