Anna Karenina - Unabridged Edition

Torn between the love for her son, the bond of marriage and her passion for another man, Anna Karenina will be engulfed in a conflict so dramatic that it transcends the boundaries of the character to become emblematic, one that will unite her with other tormented figures of women, such as Madame Bovary, to name the most famous. Inspired by a true story, Tolstoy transfused into Anna Karenina the anxiety and desire for ethical clarity that dominated his life. Constructed with refined narrative interplay, and yet with the usual stylistic fluency of Tolstoy's masterpieces, the novel presents a searing moral problematic, leaving the reader to make the final judgment.
