Anna Karenina (Vintage Classic Russians Series) by Leo Tolstoy

Anna is a beautiful, intelligent woman whose passionate affair with the dashing Count Vronsky leads her to ruin.

But her story is also about a search for meaning, and by twinning it with that of Levin, an awkward idealist whose happy marriage and domestic trials form the backdrop for a similar quest, Tolstoy creates a rich and complex masterpiece that has captured the imagination of readers for decades.
