TRANSLATED BY LOUISE AND AYLMER MAUDE

Anna is a beautiful, intelligent woman whose passionate affair with the dashing Count Vronsky leads her to ruin. But her story is also about a search for meaning, and by twinning it with that of Levin, an awkward idealist whose happy marriage and domestic trials form the backdrop for a similar quest, Tolstoy creates a rich and complex masterpiece that has captured the imagination of readers for decades.

The Vintage Classic Russians Series: Published for the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, these are must-have, beautifully designed editions of six epic masterpieces that have survived controversy, censorship and suppression to influence decades of thought and artistic expression.

Ce que les critiques en disent

One of the greatest love stories in world literature (Vladimir Nabokov)
Tolstoy's historical and human sweep is breathtaking. His vision, humanity and his knowledge that love and pain are at the heart of life is the most important of all the profound truths revealed in this great novel (Jonathan Dimbleby)
In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy got totally inside the mind of a woman who is prepared to lose everything for the sake of man and who is so much in love that she commits suicide. I don't like her as a woman, but I think it is a brilliant portrait, unequalled in literature (Amanda Craig)
I've read and re-read this novel and every time I find another layer in the story (Philippa Gregory)
I first read Anna Karenina 20 years ago when travelling across the Peruvian desert on a long bus journey, and it has stayed with me ever since (Hugh Thomson)
Anyone who has read Anna Karenina will be aware of its extraordinary power as an epic psychological tale of a woman who gives up her husband and son for the sake of an affair with a handsome army officer. It has humour but, as with all of Tolstoy's works, it is completely without sentimentality
I just love this classic romance about a married mother who succumbs to an unsuitable lover and becomes pregnant by him, which of course results in all sorts of pressures and heartache. The best love story ever told (Kay Burley)
Probably one of the greatest novelistic treatments of the torments of love

A long listen, I left and came back to it a few times over about a year, but I always enjoyed listening. I highly recommend this book to anyone. It captures the humanity of its characters uniquely; they are real and flawed and only some of them change, and even if you hate them, by the end you can usually predict what they will do. This book feels like opening up the walls of a real family's home, and watching them live for a while. Sometimes it's dull and slow for a bit, sometimes a lot happens very fast, I think that adds to the charm. Cannot recommend enough.

Also, the narrator is excellent. Very posh accent and her French is not too bad, mostly I just enjoy the sound of her voice. Definitely pick a narrator you like for this one, you'll be hearing a lot of them.
