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
读安娜的起因是在网上的几个朋友的写得很好看的书评,每看完一篇我就想,要去找来看看了,每下一次决心就给我增添一次心理压力,因为《安娜》应该就是那种我知道很好而又不确定自己能不能看得到它的好的书。 托尔斯泰的小说我以前只在中学看过《复活》,也算是完成暑假作业,...
浮冰下的深河 人的生活就像安排在江面浮冰上的一场筵席,当冰面仍然冻结的时候,每个人都感觉这场筵席是在坚实的地面上进行着,并将永远这样有条不紊的进行下去。只有当冰面澌溶、开裂的时候,人才仿佛忽然发现,原来生活的基础并不是自己想象的那么坚实安稳,一直以来的平稳...
十五六岁的时候,第一次看《安娜·卡列宁娜》之前,曾听母亲谈论过安娜。像那个年纪的大多数人一样,母亲眼里的安娜不能算个好女人,而她的悲剧多少也有些咎由自取。那个年代资讯匮乏,人们表达观点并没有今天这么多的自由渠道,而我能接触到的所有资料上大约都是这样描述这个...
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...
