Considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century, Tolstoys startling yet powerful story of adultery and its aftermath, of the human need for love and happiness, and of the unyielding demands of society now features a new Introduction. Reissue. Leo Tolstoys evocative tale of doomed love--one of the greatest novels of the nineteenth century. Upon its publication, Anna Karenina startled the world with its powerful portrayal of the human need for love and happiness weighed against the rigid demands of society. Its heroine, the sensual, rebellious Anna, renounces a respectable yet stifling marriage for an extramarital affair that offers a taste of passion even as it ensnares her in a trap for destruction. Her story contrasts with that of Levin, a young, self-doubting agnostic who takes a different path to fulfillment and finds faith and happiness in an age of repression. Anna Karenina has been called Tolstoys spiritual autobiography. Anna and Levin personify his lifelong struggle to reconcile his physical desires and intellectual ideals in order to lead a more meaningful existence.
