Anna Karenina (Signet Classics)

Leo Tolstoy

Signet Classics, 2002

both timeless and of its era
Many themes of Anna Karenina are timeless: marriage, infidelity, the roles of men and women, personal fulfillment, honor, spirituality, and naturalism. If that isn't enough, then Tolstoy offers an 18th-century look at Russian society and culture, still well before the ...

Anna Karenina

Neeland Media LLC, 2004

The Kindle edition is NOT the Pevear and Volokhonsky translation
For those of you that have a Kindle and are wanting to purchase the new Pevear and Volokhonsky translation of this wonderful novel, DO NOT download this edition, no matter what the synopsis says. I downloaded the sample on my Kindle and compared it to the print edition ...

What Happened to Anna K.: A Novel

Irina Reyn

Touchstone, 2008

Smooooth as Butter
After reading some of the reviews of this book, I decided to take a different route with my review. I guess the plot and basic summary of this book have been made very clear, so there's no need for me to restate that the protagonist, Anna, is an unhappy 37 year old ...

Anna Karenina (Oprah's Book Club)

Leo Tolstoy

Penguin Classics, 2004

A deeply human book that repays many re-readings
Why on earth would anyone bother to write another review of so famous and exhaustively-studied a book as "Anna Karenina"? The world has changed immensely since the book was written in the late 19th century. Reviews have probably also changed over the years, ...

Dinner With Anna Karenina

Gloria Goldreich

Mira, 2008

Surprisingly nice
"Dinner with Anna Karenina" starts a little slow and appears somewhat cheesy at the beginning, but it grows into something more. Its characters are not perfect, and Gloria Goldreich manages to present them with their human faults and imperfect choices. While the ...

Anna Karenina (Cliffs Notes)

Marianne Sturman

This book is my favorite
This book is great. When I first saw this book I thought that it is boring because it's quite thick. Yet after reading this book I realized that one cannot judge a book based on its size. It's really a good book. It's about the Russian society. After reading this ...

Anna Karenina

Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy, Leo Tolstoy

Recorded Books, 2004

Great audio version!
This is a great audio version of Anna Karenina. Although the narrator's Russian pronunciation of the names leaves something to be desired, everything else is superb. She is able to effectively create the characters in your mind, and does it so well that you don't even ...
