In 1872 the mistress of a neighbouring landowner threw herself
under a train at a station near Tolstoy's home. This gave Tolstoy
the starting point he needed for composing what many believe to be
the greatest novel ever written. In writing Anna Karenina he moved
away from the vast historical sweep of War and Peace to tell, with
extraordinary understanding, the story of an aristocratic woman who
brings ruin on herself. Anna's tragedy is interwoven with not only
the courtship and marriage of Kitty and Levin but also the lives of
many other characters. Rich in incident, powerful in
characterization, the novel also expresses Tolstoy's own moral
vision. `The correct way of putting the question is the artist's
duty', Chekhov once insisted, and Anna Karenina was the work he
chose to make his point. It solves no problem, but it is deeply
satisfying because all the questions are put correctly. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
