Descrierea editorului
An Apple Books Classic edition.
“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Thus begins what many consider the world’s greatest novel. Leo Tolstoy originally published this sweeping saga in serial form beginning in 1875, portraying a vast swath of Russian life, from the fields worked by starving peasant farmers to the sitting rooms (and bedrooms) of privileged aristocrats.
Despite its epic nature, Anna Karenina is an intricate, intimate study of one woman’s downward spiral into tragedy. As Anna’s husband becomes increasingly absorbed in philosophical and political introspection, Tolstoy’s heroine grows weary of her life as a mother and wealthy man’s wife. Increasingly unsettled by the stark class differences she observes, Anna finds passion again in a forbidden affair with Count Vronsky. But can she overcome her obsessive concern with societal norms to find a measure of happiness?
Passion. Betrayal. Love. Revenge. Tolstoy’s classic has it all.

This book is written for Levin,for God
I would like to rename the book as “The road approaching Divinity “
Before I started my reading,I’m very sure I want to know everything about Anna.During the struggle of her complex relationship,my feeling is changed from love to hate to mercy…I can say I was tortured by her story even I could imagine she is the most beautiful woman in the world!
The emotions had been changed when I looking through Levin and find the same feeling with him.
Even I am not as handsome like him not clever like him not noble like him…but I definitely acknowledged him and can easily hear the same summon from the sky.
So beautiful every word
So beautiful every feeling
So beautiful every sense
So great Tolstoy !
