Mint Editions, Leo Tolstoy: Anna Karenina (2020, West Margin Press)
English language
Published Dec. 12, 2020 by West Margin Press.
Described by William Faulkner as the best novel ever written and by Fyodor Dostoevsky as “flawless,” Anna Karenina tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and thereby exposes herself to the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel's seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness.
Très heureux d’avoir découvert ce classique qui est un véritable « page-turner » dont je viens de dévorer le premier tome.
