First published in 1878, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is the tragic
story of aristocrat Anna Karenina and her ill-fated affair with the
cavalry officer Count Vronsky. Although passionately in love, the
couple finds their romance doomed by the sexual mores of their time
and place, and the double standards that apply to men and women.
The tale's panoramic sweep and Tolstoy's colorful depiction of
Russia and the European continent are virtually unparalleled in
world literature. This novel, in the estimation of William
Faulkner, is 'the best ever written.' Anna Karenina is one of
Barnes & Noble's leatherbound classics. Each volume features
authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an
exquisitely designed bonded leather binding, with distinctive gilt
edging and an attractive ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and
collectible, these books offers hours of pleasure to readers young
and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for any home library.

‘I’m not the sort of husband you dream of when you’re walking alone
along the avenue in the evening, am I? And it would be a disaster,
wouldn’t it?’
How does love die? This question lies at the heart of Tolstoy’s
desperately sad novella. It tells the story of seventeen-year-old Masha
who, despite their differences, falls passionately in love with an
older man, and marries him. Soon, however, the gap between them becomes
unbridgeable.
