Anna Karenina

A gift edition of the legendary novel! Elegant patterns and embossing on the cover with a soft-touch effect. Illustrations inside. Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy (1828-1910) called "Anna Karenina" a novel that is "broad and free." By deliberately abandoning a clear plot structure, the writer placed on its pages both the scandalous story of the unhappy marriage of the main heroine and the social-philosophical reflections of Konstantin Levin (his alter ego). Before you is a grand canvas by a brilliant master, revealing the subtle nuances in relationships between people with different views, social status, and aspirations. Some, in search of personal happiness, are willing to sacrifice much and perish in the whirlpool of passions, while others find true harmony in quiet family life. Since the novel's first publication in 1875, readers and critics have continued to debate the motivations of the characters, their righteousness, and mistakes. Now, try to take someone's side in this tangled story... "I have written everything in 'Anna Karenina' - nothing is left." - Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy
