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.

War looms in Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, and when Napoleon invades
Russia in 1812 it forever changes those whose lives it engulfs.
Although told on a panoramic scale Tolstoy's epic novel focuses the
chaos of battle, the horror of death and bloodshed, and the
expression of the noble virtues of love and valor through their
impact on the lives of three principal characters: the courageous
Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov, and the
nobly born beauty Natasha Rostov.

Tolstoy's 1893 book, subtitled "Christianity Not as a Mystical
Teaching but as a New Concept of Life," introduced such vital
concepts as non-violent resistance to 20th Century figures as
Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Although Tolstoy is best
known as one of the great Russian novelists, his place as a social
reformer and peace advocate cannot be underestimated.
