Anna Karenina


<p>A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution, <i>Anna Karenina</i> portrays the moving story of people whose emotions conflict with the dominant social mores of their time.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sensual, rebellious Anna falls deeply and passionately in love with the handsome Count Vronsky.&nbsp;&nbsp;When she refuses to conduct the discreet affair that her cold, ambitious husband (and Russian high society) would condone, she is doomed.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set against the tragic love of Anna and Vronsky, the plight of the melancholy nobleman Konstantine Levin unfolds.&nbsp;&nbsp;In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by thoughts of suicide, Levin's struggles echo Tolstoy's own spiritual crisis.&nbsp;&nbsp;But Anna's inner turmoil mirrors the own emotional imprisonment and mental disintegration of a woman who dares to transgress the strictures of a patriarchal world.&nbsp;&nbsp;In <i>Anna Karenina</i> Leo Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism and created a masterpiece that bared the Russian soul.</p>
