En savoir plus sur le livre

This carefully crafted ebook features two classic unabridged translations of a renowned work of realist fiction, formatted for your eReader with a detailed table of contents. Widely regarded as a pinnacle of literature, it was deemed Tolstoy's first real novel, with Dostoevsky calling it "flawless as a work of art." Esteemed authors like Vladimir Nabokov and William Faulkner have praised its style and impact, with the latter labeling it "the best ever written." A recent poll of contemporary authors recognized it as the "greatest novel ever written." The plot centers on Vronsky, a bachelor willing to marry Anna if she leaves her husband, Karenin, a government official. However, Anna grapples with societal pressures, insecurities, and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky takes her to Europe, their relationship faces challenges as Anna becomes increasingly isolated and anxious, while he pursues his social life. Her growing possessiveness and paranoia about his fidelity deepen her struggles. The Garnett translation is celebrated for its fidelity to the 19th-century essence of the original, while the Maude translation, endorsed by Tolstoy himself, is also highly regarded. The Maudes, who worked closely with the author, produced an unabridged and annotated version published in 1918, solidifying their place in literary history.
