Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
'All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' Acclaimed by many as the world's greatest novel, Anna Kerenina provides a vast panorama of contemporary life in Russia and of humanity in general. Anna is a sophisticated woman who abandons her empty existence as a wife and turns to her lover Count Vronsky to fulfil her passionate nature -with tragic consequences.
Count Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) published Anna Karenina in 1877. His other works include The Sebastopol Sketches (1855), War and Peace (1869) and A Confession (1879-82). He also involved himself in the running of peasant schools on his estates and the emancipation of the serfs. His works earned him numerous followers in Russia and abroad. Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky have translated Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita for Penguin.
