Anna Karenina - Macmillan Collector's Library (Hardback)
Leo Tolstoy (author), Ned Halley (author of introduction)Published: 26/01/2017
A powerful meditation on desire, fatalism and the dangers of self-deception, Tolstoy’s tragic love story follows the titular heroine’s extramarital affair with the handsome Count Vronsky that sets her on a treacherous path of no return.
Trapped in a stifling marriage, Anna Karenina is swept off her feet by dashing Count Vronsky. Rejected by society, the two lovers flee to Italy, where Anna finds herself isolated from all except the man she loves, and who loves her. But can they live by love alone? In this novel of astonishing scope and grandeur, Leo Tolstoy, the great master of Russian literature, charts the course of the human heart.
A masterpiece of realism and illuminated by irresistible characters, Anna Karenina is among the best-loved of all novels, penetrating to the heart of the ruling class in Tsarist Russia.
This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Anna Karenina is translated by Aylmer & Louise Maude, and features an afterword by Ned Halley.
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
