Publisher's Summary
Beautiful, popular, and fortunate, Anna Karenina is an upright wife and mother. But her passionless marriage to a senior statesman leads her into the arms of Count Alexey Vronsky. The dashing cavalry officer stokes in her something exciting and defiant. In abandoning the rules of her noble station, she's aware of the risks: a degraded reputation and the hostile recriminations of St. Petersburg society. But there are even greater stakes as Anna follows desires both romantic and carnal, emancipating and destructive.
The embodiment of the clash between Russia's old-world tradition and its liberal reform, Leo Tolstoy's willful heroine remains one of the most notorious and tragic in all of world literature.
Revised edition: Previously published as Anna Karenina, this edition of Anna Karenina (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
What the critics say
“Elizabeth Knowelden skillfully narrates this lengthy Russian novel with gravitas.... Knowelden's narration captures the richly emotional nature of this literary work, providing clear representations of the many characters and making them come to life for the listener.... This novel is long and in the wrong hands - or rather, voice - could be a chore. With Knowelden's performance, the experience is a true delight.” (AudioFile Magazine)
