This edition compiles into a single volume the 1901 English translation by Constance Garnett.1 Anna Karenina (Oxford World's Classics) Leo Tolstoy Click here if your download doesn"t start automaticallyĢ Anna Karenina (Oxford World's Classics) Leo Tolstoy Anna Karenina (Oxford World's Classics) Leo Tolstoy One of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina sets the impossible and destructive triangle of Anna, her husband Karenin, and her lover Vronsky against the marriage of Levin and Kitty, thus illuminating the most important questions that face humanity. Tolstoy drew on his aristocratic upbringing to set the scene for the novel, and it’s widely believed that he wrote his own experiences and struggles with religion (documented in A Confession) into the central character of Konstantin Levin. It was Leo Tolstoy’s second novel, coming after War and Peace and further cementing his role as the primary Russian author of his age. Initially serialized over five years in The Russian Messenger, Anna Karenina was first published as a two-volume novel in 1878. Unfortunately, the very visit designed to help her brother introduces her to Count Alexei Vronsky and sets in motion a chain of events that will ripple through families and the unforgiving society of wealthy Moscow and St. Anna Karenina is certainly somewhat unhappy in her life, but presents a strong and vivacious character when called in to smooth over a major crack that’s appeared in her brother’s marriage.
