A major translation of Tolstoy's enduring classic, by the author of the acclaimed biography "Tolstoy: A Russian Life", Rosamund Bartlett. With an introduction and notes that provide an insight into Tolstoy's literary artistry. Ties in with the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution.
I am swept up in prose that is so beautiful it has moved me more than once to tears... And I am weighing in to say that I love Bartlett's language. It resonates with my concept of Tolstoy, and my concept of this magnificent novel. I recommend this book... I don't think a new reader of "Anna" could go wrong with Bartlett.
