Anna Karenina—Part One

Leo Tolstoy

Anna Karenina was first published in 1878 and translated into English in 1901. Set in Imperial Russia, the novel intricately weaves the lives of its characters into a rich tapestry of love, betrayal, and societal norms. At its heart is Anna Karenina, a beautiful, passionate woman trapped in an unhappy marriage, whose affair with the dashing Count Vronsky leads to scandal and tragedy. Tolstoy juxtaposes Anna's tumultuous story with the serene domestic life of Konstantin Levin, exploring themes of morality, fidelity, and the search for meaning. Hailed as one of the greatest works of world literature, it remains profoundly relevant today.
