Beschreibung
Considered by some to be the greatest novel ever written, "e;Anna Karenina"e; is Tolstoy's classic tale of love and adultery set against the backdrop of high society in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. A rich and complex masterpiece, the novel charts the disastrous course of a love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman, and Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer. Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together the lives of dozens of characters, and in doing so captures a breathtaking tapestry of late-nineteenth-century Russian society. As Matthew Arnold wrote in his celebrated essay on Tolstoy, "e;We are not to take Anna Karenina as a work of art; we are to take it as a piece of life."e; The best novel ever written. -William FaulknerA perfect work of art. -Fyodor DostoyevskyOne of the greatest love stories in world literature. -Vladimir NabokovTo read him is to find one's way home to everything within us that is fundamental and sane. -Thomas Mann
