Modern Library Anna Karenina No.37

MODERN LIBRARY HARDBACK EDITION (Number 37) OF THE TOLSTOY NOVEL. TRANSLATED BY CONSTANCE GARNETT. INTRODUCTION BY HENRI TROYAT. COMPLETE AND UNABRIDGED. With 950 pages, Anna Karenina is, at its core, a love story. The novel portrays a beautiful and intelligent woman whose intense love for a charming officer overwhelms all other bonds - including her marriage and the societal norms and values that surround her. Anna and Vronsky's passionate affair unfolds alongside the blossoming romance between Kitty and Levin. Through the character of Levin, who is closely modeled after Tolstoy himself, the pursuit of happiness takes on a profound philosophical undertone. Considered one of the finest novels ever written, Anna Karenina seamlessly weaves insightful psychological observations with a comprehensive depiction of Russian life in the 1870s. The narrative transports readers from the luxurious society of St. Petersburg to the rustic threshing fields on Levin's estate, with unforgettable scenes at a glamorous Moscow ball, an icy skating rink, a thrilling racecourse, and a bustling railway station. The novel constructs a complex web of relationships that is both immensely satisfying and deeply poignant.
