Anna Karenina

War and Peace, simply put, is the giant book of the modem era, our Divine Comedy, our Iliad, our Tale of Genji. Like them, this classic strives literally to show it all, to give us the totality of what it means to be alive.

Lavishly written and imbued with the inevitability of tragedy, Anna Karenina explores the fate of a willful woman in the throes of unbounded, adulterous passions condemned by constrictive mid-nineteenth century mores.
