Anna Karenina (eBook)

Anna Karenina, a remarkable work of art by one of the few mega-novelists of all times is an ageless story that is more real than fiction. Though it is a Russian story of a century and a half ago, its essence still resonates today.

In Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy crafts together an endearing saga of love, jealousy, forgiveness and infidelity. The deepest depths of the human soul are explored in two contrasting stories of an adulterous wife - Anna Karenina, and a rejected lover - Kostya Levin.

Anna who is married to the wealthy and older Karenin lives a life of comfort without any excitement, a life that is full of routines and no zest. It is a life she had become used to until she meets the elegant Vronsky and falls in love. Now she must pay the price of adultery or seek marital stability and forgo the echoes of her heart, a soul searching trial that destabilizes the life of her family and that of her lover. In essence she abandons the meaning for her life and pursues the zest of life.

It is a must read for anyone who has a love for the classics and one who wishes to be challenged out of the simplistic perspectives of comtemporary logic.
