The release date for the English version of 'Anna Karenina' by Leo Tolstoy is Oct 2012. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.

Anna Karenina, often regarded as the best book ever written, offers a comprehensive view of modern Russian society as well as humankind as a whole. In it, Tolstoy crafts some of the most enduring characters in all of literature by drawing on his extraordinary creative intuition. With catastrophic results, Anna, a cultured lady, leaves her meaningless life as Karenin's wife and goes to Count Vronsky to satisfy her passionate nature. As a mirror of Tolstoy, Levin often articulates the author's own opinions and beliefs.

Tolstoy makes no moral arguments at all; instead, he only asks us to observe instead of passing judgement. "He leaves the shifting patterns of the kaleidoscope to bring home the meaning of the brooding words that follow the title, 'Vengeance is mine, and I will repay,'" observes Rosemary Edmonds.
