Described by Dostoevsky as "flawless" and by Faulkner as the best
novel ever written, Anna Karenina is Tolstoy's classic tale of
infidelity and vengeance. Set against the backdrop of high society
in in 19th-century Moscow and Saint Petersburg, it portrays the
doomed love affair between sensuous and rebellious Anna and the
dashing Count Vronsky. In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy brought to
perfection the novel of social realism, creating a masterpiece that
bares the Russian soul. As Matthew Arnold wrote, "We are not to
take Anna Karenina as a work of art; we are to take it as a piece
of life." Anna Karenina is a big book, and most publishers try to
pack it into small newsprint pages with tiny, nearly unreadable
type. This edition, on the other hand, has been newly designed and
printed on large-format, high-quality paper with easy-to-read type,
making it a deluxe volume at a still-reasonable price.
