Considered by some to be the greatest novel ever written, Anna Karenina 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, "We are not to take Anna Karenina as a work of art; we are to take it as a piece of life."

Review This Product

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 | Review by: Ilhaam S.

Unfortunately I did not manage to stick it out long enough to find the greatness in this book that many have spoken of. It seriously dragged...so many many many pages. It isn't the easiest book to read and it's because it has been translated to English. What I did read of the book was enjoyable and hopefully I will find the time to finish this book in my lifetime.
