Leo Tolstoy's classic novel of love and self-destruction is spectacularly presented in this ornate hardback gift edition with gold cover foiling and printed page edges.
It is no surprise that Leo Tolstoy's peers should have hailed this Russian literary masterpiece as one of the best novels ever written. Even in the 21st century, it has regularly been voted as one of the top 100 books in literature.
First published in serial form between 1873 and 1877, it tells the tragic love story of the aristocrat of the title and her lover Count Vronsky. As they pursue their relationship, Russian society shuns Anna, making her increasingly paranoid and distressed, as her marriage to Count Karenin falls apart and he threatens to take her son, Seryozha, away from her if she continues her affair.
Multi-stranded, Tolstoy's commanding work covers many themes, including the Russian feudal system, social hypocrisy, the family and, above all, passion.
Using the classic translation by Louise and Aylmer Maude, this striking gift edition creates a wonderful way to enjoy this masterwork of Russian literature.

Author Bio
Leo Tolstoy was born in Russia in 1828 and is considered to be one of the greatest authors of all time. His best-known work, War and Peace, was first published in 1869. Anna Karenina was published in complete form in 1878, but Tolstoy also wrote short stories, plays and essays. During trips to Europe, he met and was influenced by Victor Hugo, as well as the anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. Tolstoy eventually died in 1910 from pneumonia.
