Anna Karenina

A married aristocrat and mother, Anna Karenina, falls into a passionate affair with the dashing Count Vronsky, setting off a chain of events that scandalizes St. Petersburg society and leads toward tragedy. Woven through her story is that of Konstantin Levin, a restless landowner searching for meaning through work, faith, and love. Tolstoy's sweeping portrait of Imperial Russia is considered one of the greatest novels ever written, a profound exploration of marriage, desire, and the search for a meaningful life.
