Anna Karenina

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.
