Summary:
Considered to be Leo Tolstoy's most personal novel, "Anna Karenina"
is an epic tale which scrutinizes fundamental moral and theological
questions through the impassioned and tragic story of its eponymous
heroine. Anna is desperately pursuing a good, 'moral' life, standing
for honesty and sincerity, but this flies in the face of the morally
corrupt Russian bourgeoisie. In the background to Anna's tale, the
aristocrat Konstantin Levin is struggling to reconcile reason with
passion, espousing a Christian anarchism that Tolstoy himself
believed in. Championed by Nabokov and adored by Doestoevsky, "Anna
Karenina" displays a poignant realism and innovative lyricism that
makes it one of the most perfect, enduring novels of all time.
