When Anna's husband discovers the infidelity of his wife, his primary concern is not the well-being of his marriage, but his own self-image. The downward spiral of Anna's illicit behavior is paralleled with the story of Kitty and Konstantin Levin, who is a wealthy agriculturalist but somewhat socially clumsy figure. Levin and Kitty's love is unblemished, yet his struggles with faith and his unrelenting philosophical questioning paint a profound portrait of internal anguish. This classic novel examines the depth of the human soul against the backdrop of 19th-century Russia as no other work of literature has done.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e is both modern and readable. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeo Tolstoy's \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e (1877), is one of the greatest novels ever written; a sweeping epic of love and the incongruity of identity set in 19th century Russia.
