Love... it means too much to me, far more than you can understand.
At its simplest, Anna Karenina is a love story. It is a portrait of
a beautiful and intelligent woman whose passionate love for a
handsome officer sweeps aside all other ties - to her marriage and
to the network of relationships and moral values that bind the
society around her. The love affair of Anna and Vronsky is played
out alongside the developing romance of Kitty and Levin, and in the
character of Levin, closely based on Tolstoy himself, the search
for happiness takes on a deeper philosophical significance. One of
the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina combines
penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of
Russian life in the 1870s. The novel takes us from high society St
Petersburg to the threshing fields on Levin's estate, with
unforgettable scenes at a Moscow ballroom, the skating rink, a race
course, a railway station. It creates an intricate labyrinth of
connections that is profoundly satisfying, and deeply moving.
Rosamund Bartlett's translation conveys Tolstoy's precision of
meaning and emotional accuracy in an English version that is highly
readable and stylistically faithful. Like her acclaimed biography
of Tolstoy, it is vivid, nuanced, and compelling.
