Anna Karenina (Bantam Classics)

Anna Karenina (Bantam Classics)

A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution, Anna Karenina portrays the moving story of people whose emotions conflict with the dominant social mores of their time.Â Â Sensual, rebellious Anna falls deeply and passionately in love with the handsome Count Vronsky.Â Â When she refuses to conduct the discreet affair that her cold, ambitious husband (and Russian high society) would condone, she is doomed.Â Â Set against the tragic love of Anna and Vronsky, the plight of the melancholy nobleman Konstantine Levin unfolds.Â Â In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by thoughts of suicide, Levin's struggles echo Tolstoy's own spiritual crisis.Â Â But Anna's inner turmoil mirrors the own emotional imprisonment and mental disintegration of a woman who dares to transgress the strictures of a patriarchal world.Â Â In Anna Karenina Leo Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism and created a masterpiece that bared the Russian soul.
