Anna Karenina (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)

Anna Karenina is a sweeping tale of passion and self-discovery set against the backdrop of historic social changes in 19th century Russia.

This beautiful society wife from St.

Petersburg sacrifices everything to follow her conviction that love is stronger than duty, while a socially inept but warmhearted landowner pursues his own visions instead of conforming to conventional views.

The adulteress and the philosopher head the vibrant cast of characters in this tumultuous novel, which marks a turning point in Tolstoy's career as he turns from fiction towards faith.

Two worlds collide in a compelling drama of seduction, betrayal, and redemption, making Anna Karenina one ripping great read that is definitely worth checking out.
