Anna Karenina

A simple and timeless story of a woman embarking on a passionate affair, Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is widely regarded as one of the greatest love stories in literature. This beautiful Folio edition is a collector’s treasure that will be enjoyed by generations to come. Featuring the celebrated translation by Louise and Aylmer Maude, the cloth-bound book is illustrated with 14 of Angela Barrett’s atmospheric colour drawings and is introduced by award-winning poet and novelist Helen Dunmore. From as early as 1870 Tolstoy had the idea of writing about a married woman of high society who lapses morally, but it wasn’t until he was moved by the suicide of a neighbouring landowner’s mistress that the author of War and Peace embarked on what would be his second great masterpiece.
