Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics :
All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influencesbiographical, historical, and literaryto enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina one of the greatest love stories in world literature.” Matthew Arnold claimed it was not so much a work of art as a piece of life.” Set in imperial Russia, Anna Karenina is a rich and complex meditation on passionate love and disastrous infidelity.
Married to a powerful government minister, Anna Karenina is a beautiful woman who falls deeply in love with a wealthy army officer, the elegant Count Vronsky. Desperate to find truth and meaning in her life, she rashly defies the conventions of Russian society and leaves her husband and son to live with her lover. Condemned and ostracized by her peers and prone to fits of jealousy that alienate Vronsky, Anna finds herself unable to escape an increasingly hopeless situation.
Set against this tragic affair is the story of Konstantin Levin, a melancholy landowner whom Tolstoy based largely on himself. While Anna looks for happiness through love, Levin embarks on his own search for spiritual fulfillment through marriage, family, and hard work. Surrounding these two central plot threads are dozens of characters whom Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together, creating a breathtaking tapestry of nineteenth-century Russian society.
From its famous opening sentenceHappy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”to its stunningly tragic conclusion, this enduring tale of marriage and adultery plumbs the very depths of the human soul.

读后感
我不能从这本书看出很多书评提到的革命目的,比如抨击制度什么的。相反,我觉得他是刻画人性的书籍,是非常深刻的心理学小说。托尔斯泰作为一个男人竟然如此了解女人,而且能够准确地描述出来,叹为观止! 书中的人物是立体的,我反对书评简单将卡列宁说成虚伪的坏人,把沃伦...

我读完上册的感觉就是——我是俗人一枚啊! 真的是有一千个读者就有一千个哈姆雷特哈,但是,我如果没感觉错的话,托尔斯泰先生应该是在赞美安娜那种对爱情痛苦而执着的追求(这种感觉是我接受多年的马克思主义教育的结果~~作家的思想永远那么伟大而高深,他所赞美的人永远那...
