What it's about
Anna Karenina leaves a cold marriage for the officer Vronsky and finds that Russian society will forgive an affair but not an open one. Alongside her story runs Levin's, a landowner working his estate and looking for faith, marriage and a reason to live. It opens with the most quoted first line in Russian fiction; complete in eight parts, in Garnett's translation.
