‘Everything is finished. I have nothing but you now. Remember that’ Anna Karenina seems to have everything – beauty, wealth, popularity and an adored son. But she feels that her life is empty until the moment she encounters the impetuous officer Count Vronsky. Their subsequent affair scandalizes society and family alike and soon brings jealously and bitterness in its wake. Contrasting with this tale of love and self-destruction is the vividly observed story of Levin, a man striving to find contentment and a meaning to his life – and also a self-portrait of Tolstoy himself. This new translation has been acclaimed as the definitive version of Tolstoy’s masterpiece. It also contains an introduction by Richard Pevear and a preface...

Anna Akhmatova is recognised as one of the greatest poets of Russian literature, an iconic figure who gave voice to the suffering of the Russian people during the brutal years of Stalin`s Terror. Akhmatova began writing at a time when "to think of a woman as a poet was absurd" but her genius soared above any such category. Hailed as a great beauty, she married three times yet her personal life was shot through with tragedy and her only son and third husband were held captive in the Gulags. Through illness, poverty and repression-she maintained her resistance to the regime, with a dignity and composure which led her to be dubbed "Anna of all the Russias".

Anna Karenina is one of the most loved and memorable heroines of literature. Her overwhelming charm dominates a novel of unparalleled richness and density. Tolstoy considered this book to be his first real attempt at a novel form, and it addresses the very nature of society at all levels,- of destiny, death, human relationships and the irreconcilable contradictions of existence. It ends tragically, and there is much that evokes despair, yet set beside this is an abounding joy in life's many ephemeral pleasures, and a profusion of comic relief.

In 1872 the mistress of a neighbouring landowner threw herself under a train at a station near Tolstoy`s home. This gave Tolstoy the starting point he needed for composing what many believe to be the greatest novel ever written. In writing Anna Karenina he moved away from the vast historical sweep of War and Peace to tell, with extraordinary understanding, the story of an aristocratic woman who brings ruin on herself. Anna`s tragedy is interwoven with not only the courtship and marriage of Kitty and Levin but also the lives of many other characters. Rich in incident, powerful in characterization, the novel also expresses Tolstoy`s own moral vision. `The correct way of putting the question is the artist`s duty`, Chekhov once insisted, and...

With Anna Karenin, the psychological novel of the nineteenth century reached its peak. Acclaimed by many as the world`s greatest novel, Anna Karenin provides a vast panorama of contemporary life in Russia and of humanity in general. In it Tolstoy uses his intense imaginative insight to create some of the most memorable characters in literature. Anna is a sophisticated woman who abandons her empty existence as the wife of Karenin and turns to Count Vronsky to fulfil her passionate nature - with tragic consequences. Levin is a reflection of Tolstoy himself, often expressing the author`s own views and convictions. Throughout, Tolstoy points no moral, merely inviting us not to judge but to watch. As Rosemary Edmonds comments: `He leaves...

«Chaque fois que Vronski lui adressait la parole, un éclair passait dans les yeux d`Anna, un sourire entrouvrait ses lèvres; et, si désireuse qu`elle parût de la refouler, son allégresse éclatait en signes manifestes. "Et lui?" pensa Kitty. Elle le regarda et fut épouvantée, car le visage de Vronski reflétait comme un miroir l`exaltation qu`elle venait de lire sur celui d`Anna».
Focusing on the legendary Russian poet, this comprehensive biography is a rich narrative of the dramatic life of Anna Akhmatova. In this definitive biography of the legendary Russian poet, Elaine Feinstein draws on a wealth of newly available material–including memoirs, letters, journals, and interviews with surviving friends and family–to produce a revelatory portrait of both the artist and the Akhmatova rose to fame in the years before World War I, but she would pay a heavy price for the political and personal passions that informed her brilliant poetry. In Anna of All the Russias we see Akhmatova`s work banned from 1925 until 1940 and again after World War II. We see her steadfast opposition to Stalin, even while her son was held...
