About this ebook
Anna Karenina es ciertamente algo infeliz en su vida, pero presenta un carácter fuerte y vivaz cuando se le pide que lime una grieta importante que ha aparecido en el matrimonio de su hermano. Desafortunadamente, la misma visita diseñada para ayudar a su hermano le presenta al conde Alexei Vronsky y pone en marcha una cadena de eventos que se extenderán a través de las familias y la implacable sociedad de Moscú y San Petersburgo ricos.
Inicialmente serializada durante cinco años en The Russian Messenger, Anna Karenina se publicó por primera vez como una novela de dos volúmenes en 1878. Fue la segunda novela de León Tolstoi, después de Guerra y paz y consolidando aún más su papel como el principal autor ruso de su época. Tolstoi se basó en su educación aristocrática para preparar el escenario para la novela, y se cree ampliamente que escribió sus propias experiencias y luchas con la religión (documentadas en Una confesión) en el personaje central de Konstantin Levin.
Esta edición compila en un solo volumen la traducción al inglés de 1901 de Constance Garnett.
About the author
Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828 in Russia. He is usually referred to as Leo Tolstoy. He was a Russian author who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. Leo Tolstoy is best known for his novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). Tolstoy's fiction includes dozens of short stories and several novellas such as The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Family Happiness, and Hadji Murad. He also wrote plays and numerous philosophical essays. Tolstoy had a profound moral crisis and spiritual awakening in the 1870's which he outlined in his work, A Confession. His literal interpretation of the ethical teachings of Jesus, centering on the Sermon on the Mount, caused him to become a fervent Christian anarchist and pacifist. His ideas of nonviolent resistance which he shared in his works The Kingdom of God is Within You, had a profund impact on figures such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. On September 23, 1862 Tolstoy married Sophia Andreevna Behrs. She was the daughter of a court physician. They had 13 children, eight of whom survived childhood. Their early married life allowed Tolstoy much freedom to compose War and Peace and Anna Karenina with his wife acting as his secretary and proofreader. The Tolstoy family left Russia in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet Union. Leo Tolstoy's relatives and descendants moved to Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Tolstoy died of pneumonia at Astapovo train station, after a day's rail journey south on November 20, 1910 at the age of 82.
