Two relationships, contrasting paths

Anna Karenina places Anna’s relationship with Vronsky and her husband Karenin alongside the marriage of Levin and Kitty. That pairing gives the novel a framework for considering marriage and desire through contrasting relationships, rather than a single romantic plot. This Oxford World’s Classics edition uses the Louise and Aylmer Maude translation and includes an introduction and notes, offering additional context for engaging with Tolstoy’s work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in classic novels centered on marriage and romantic relationships

Book overview

One of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina sets the impossible and destructive triangle of Anna, her husband Karenin, and her lover Vronsky against the marriage of Levin and Kitty, thus illuminating the most important questions that face humanity. The second edition uses the acclaimed Louise and Alymer Maude translation, and offers a new introduction and notes which provide completely up-to-date perspectives on Tolstoy's classic work.
