Anna Karenina (Everyman's Library)

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p>A famous legend surrounding the creation of <i>Anna Karenina</i> tells us that Tolstoy began writing a cautionary tale about adultery and ended up falling in love with his magnificent heroine. It is rare to find a reader of the book who doesn€t experience the same kind of emotional upheaval. <i>Anna Karenina</i> is filled with major and minor characters who exist in their own right and fully embody their mid-nineteenth-century Russian milieu, but it still belongs entirely to the woman whose name it bears, whose portrait is one of the truest ever made by a writer. Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude.</p>
