"All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
With those iconic words, Leo Tolstoy opens Anna Karenina—a sweeping tale of love and self-destruction set against the backdrop of imperial Russia. At its heart is Anna, a passionate woman trapped in a loveless marriage, who risks everything for love—only to face the unforgiving judgment of society.
Tolstoy masterfully contrasts Anna's story with that of Levin, a philosophical landowner searching for meaning and moral clarity. Together, these intertwining narratives probe themes of fidelity, class, free will, and the search for happiness.
This edition includes illustrations, annotations, and historical context, ideal for modern readers, students, and literary collectors alike.
