Anna Karenina

by Lev Tolstoy
Translated by Kyril Zinovieff and Jenny Hughes
One World Classics, 2008, pp. 876
Considered to be Leo Tolstoy's most personal novel, Anna Karenina is a resonant story which scrutinizes fundamental moral and theological questions through the impassioned and tragic story of its eponymous heroine. Anna is desperately pursuing a good, "moral" life, standing for honesty and sincerity, passion drives her to adultery and this flies in the face of the morally corrupt Russian bourgeoisie.
