THE COMPLETE NOVELS OF LEO TOLSTOY: ANNA KARENINA
"As he looked round, she too hired her head. Her shining grey eyes, that looked dark from the thick lashes, rested with friendly attention on his face..
In that brief look Vronsky had time to notice the suppressed eagerness which played over her face, and fitled between the brilliant eyes and the faint smile that curved her red lips."
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy is a tale set in the Moscow and Petersburg high society of the nineteenth century.
A scandalous affair between Anna Karenina and Alexey Vronsky fashions the tone of the story. The novel's realistic portrayal of the repercussions and the consequent emotions of the relationship is riveting. Running parallel to the main narrative is a self-portrayal of Tolstoy in the character of Konstantin Levin. Together, the two recitals explore society politics, philosophy, matrimony, altruism, religion, paranoia, life, and death.
