When beautiful, aristocratic, and married Anna falls madly in love with the dashing Count Vronsky, their affair shocks Russian society, tears her family apart, and leads, inevitably, to tragedy. Count Leo Tolstoy's epic story of passion, infidelity, vengeance, and retribution has held readers spellbound since it was first published in the late 1800s. Set against the fatal attraction of Anna and Vronsky, unfolding in perfect symmetry, is another love story: of the melancholy nobleman Constantin Levin and his devoted wife, Kitty. In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by thoughts of suicide, Levin's struggles echo Tolstoy's own spiritual crisis.
Filled with unforgettable characters, rich in history and social realism, Anna Karenina is a masterpiece of world literature, a story that fires the imagination and touches the heart.

3.5/5 Was ein toller Roman! Mein erstes Buch von Tolstoy und ich habe es geliebt. Der Erzähler war toll und es war mir eine Freude nun auch dieses Buch gelesen zu haben..JEDOCH sind meine Gedanken immer wieder wandern gegangen und ich konnte mich einfach nicht konzentrieren. Es tut mir wirklich so leid, aber ich werde dem ganzen einfach zu einem besseren Zeitpunkt noch einmal probieren.
