About this title

Product Description:

A fresh translation of the classic Russian novel retells the tale of rebellious Anna and her ill-fated romance with Count Vronsky amid the turmoil of nineteenth-century Russia. 15,000 first printing.

Review:

The new and brilliantly witty translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky is a must (Lisa Appignanesi Independent, Books of the Year)

Pevear and Volokhonsky are at once scrupulous translators and vivid stylists of English, and their superb rendering allows us, as perhaps never before, to grasp the palpability of Tolstoy's "characters, acts, situations" (James Wood New Yorker)
