Anna Karenina is beautiful, married to a successful man, and has a son whom she adores. But a chance meeting at a train station in Moscow sets her passionate heart alight, and she is defenceless in the face of Count Vronsky's adoration. Having defied the rules of 19th-century Russian society, Anna is forced to pay a heavy price. Human nature, with all it's failings, is the fabric of which this great and intense work is composed. Anna Karenina has been described as the perfect Russian novel.
