Picked this book up at a local Library book sale as it is one of the classics that I have never read.
From the back cover:"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."
