Anna Karenina

The classic story of a beautiful, passionate, tragic heroine. It is also the best portrayal of the manners and morals of Tolstoy's time. The glittering aristocratic society of Moscow and Petersburg enjoys many varieties of decadence; but there are certain sins which cannot be tolerated. As Anna Karenina's deep and independent spirit rebelliously demands fulfillment, she seeks a happiness forbidden to women of her position -- and awaits her inevitable punishment.
