Anna Karenina— Leo Tolstoy

PRELOVED

The story of Anna Karenina, along with that of Madame Bovary, is one of the most celebrated tales of adultery in literature. The protagonist's falling in love with the attractive military man Vronsky, while married to the high-ranking official Karenin, and the tumultuous romance she experiences with him, form the core of a novel that is much more than the polished tragedy of a fall from grace: it is a meticulous and delicate portrait of an entire era and place, a vivisection of a society where the happiness of some coexists with the misfortune of others.

This volume opens with the splendid introduction by George Gibian, former professor at Cornell University and a scholar of Slavic literature. This is followed by the thorough and acclaimed translation by sisters Irene and Laura Andresco.
