Anna Karenina by Graf Leo Tolstoy
Series: The 10 Greatest Books of All Time
Virtual Entertainment, 2013
The novel is currently enjoying popularity, as demonstrated by a recent poll of 125 contemporary authors by J. Peder Zane, published in 2007 in "The Top Ten" in Time (http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1578073,00.html#ixzz2DitztA29), which declared that Anna Karenina is the "greatest novel ever written".
Anna Karenina is the tragedy of married aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story starts when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though with less tolerance for her by others.
A bachelor, Vronsky is willing to marry her if she would agree to leave her husband Karenin, a government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, her own insecurities and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky and Anna go to Italy where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity, fears losing control.
A parallel story within the novel is of Levin, a country landowner who desires to marry Kitty, sister to Dolly and sister-in-law to Anna's brother Oblonsky. Levin has to propose twice before Kitty accepts. The novel details Levin's difficulties managing his estate, his eventual marriage, and personal issues, until the birth of Levin's first child.
— Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Cover is the picture of the painter Henrich Manizer (1847-1925).
App icon is a frame with Keira Knightley of film "Anna Karenina" 2012, Director: Joe Wright.
