About the Book First published in instalments between 1875 and 1877, Anna Karenina follows the tragic love affair between the beautiful, married Anna and the dashing Count Vronsky, whose passionate romance defies the rigid conventions of Imperial Russian society. As Anna's world unravels amid scandal and isolation, Tolstoy weaves a parallel story of Konstantin Levin, a searching landowner whose quest for meaning through work, faith, and family offers a counterpoint of hope to Anna's descent. Set against a richly detailed backdrop of glittering ballrooms, sprawling country estates, and the quiet rhythms of rural life, the novel explores timeless questions of desire, duty, morality, and the price of authenticity in a judgmental world. Widely regarded as one of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina remains a towering achievement of psychological depth and social observation.
