Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Anna Karenina, beautiful and confined to a passionless marriage in Tsarist Russia, falls helplessly in love with the dashing Count Vronsky. Her passion sets her on a collision course with society, family and conscience that will lead from glittering St Petersburg ballrooms to a final, devastating choice on a snowy railway platform. In parallel, the earnest Konstantin Levin pursues an entirely different journey towards meaning, love and faith.
Often cited as the greatest novel ever written, Tolstoy's panoramic portrait of nineteenth-century Russia weaves together two great storylines into a single meditation on what it means to live well. Translated by Constance Garnett.
