About the book
Leo Tolstoy creates an epic tapestry of intertwined lives in nineteenth-century Russia, centered on the trajectory of Anna Karenina, an aristocratic woman who defies social conventions by abandoning her marriage in pursuit of passion. As Anna follows her heart with devastating consequences, other storylines—particularly that of the farmer Levin and his spiritual journey—unfold in parallel.
Considered one of the greatest masterpieces of world literature, the novel combines deep psychological intrigue, penetrating social observation, and meditation on meaning, death, and redemption. Tolstoy creates unforgettably human characters and explores the contradictions and conflicts that define existence.
