Leo Tolstoy - Anna Karenina. Narration by Davina Porter. Translation by Constance Garnett.
Tolstoy's masterpiece begins, "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
This is the story of the unhappy family of Anna Karenina. The novel contains much concerning Tolstoy's spiritual
crisis and his search for the meaning of life. But it is also chiefly about marriage, and the growth and death
of love.

The touching picture of Anna Aarkadyevna Karenina's slow disintegration has fascinated readers for well over
a century. Beautiful and charming, Anna lives in a splendid world of her own making. She smokes, rides horseback,
plays tennis, takes opium, practices birth control, and (although she is already married) falls in love with
a handsome army officer.

Anna's life is played out against a backdrop of dazzling balls and the vastness of Russia's landscape. It is a
magnificent story that shimmers with the intensity of intelligence and passion, especially through this superb
Narration by Davina Porter. First published in 1878
