Anna Karenina
Tolstoy, Leo graf 1828-1910
Anna Karenina / Leo Tolstoy ; translated by Kyrill Zinovieff and Jenny Hughes - London : Alma Classics, 2014. - xiii, 784 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm.
Contains a preface and translator’s note, an extensive critical apparatus, extra reading material including a section of photographs and notes.
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.
