A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution,
Anna Karenina portrays the moving story of people whose emotions
conflict with the dominant social mores of their time. Sensual,
rebellious Anna falls deeply and passionately in love with the
handsome Count Vronsky. When she refuses to conduct the discreet
affair that her cold, ambitious husband and Russian high society
would condone, she is doomed. Set against the tragic love of Anna
and Vronsky, the plight of the melancholy nobleman Konstantine
Levin unfolds. In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by
thoughts of suicide, Levin''s struggles echo Tolstoy''s own spiritual
crisis. But Anna''s inner turmoil mirrors the own emotional
imprisonment and mental disintegration of a woman who dares to
transgress the strictures of a patriarchal world. In Anna Karenina
Leo Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism and
created a masterpiece that bared the Russian soul.

關於作者：
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American
cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was
founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight
years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It
provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random
House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book
trade, providing readers with affordable hardbound editions of
important works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library''s
seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series,
restoring as its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian
Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as
well as inaugurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern
Library continues to provide the world''s best books, at the best
prices.
