Anna Karenina

Looking for a literary masterpiece that will transport you to another time and place? Look no further than the must-have Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of "Anna Karenina" - one of the greatest Russian novels ever written. This enchanting novel has been described by William Faulkner as the best novel ever written, and by Fyodor Dostoevsky as "flawless."

Experience the heart-wrenching tale of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. As Anna rejects her passionless marriage, she opens herself up to the hypocrisies of society, leading to a tragic turn of events. Against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Russia, Tolstoy's masterful storytelling envelops readers in a richly textured world where love, family, and societal norms collide.

Unlike previous translations that have softened Tolstoy's writing, our Pevear and Volokhonsky translation remains true to his powerful voice. Winner of the prestigious PEN Translation Prize and featured in the Oprah Book Club™ selection, this authoritative edition also includes illuminating introduction and explanatory notes, enriching your reading experience.
