It’s easy to talk about love; it’s hard to talk about the cost… Anna Karenina, burning with the fire of love and crashing against the icy walls of society… Tolstoy’s immortal novel is now shorter, but with the same heart. In this reconstructed edition, the pages flow swiftly, and Anna and Vronski’s shattering passion, Levin and Kitty’s hope rooted in the earth, and Karenin’s belated regrets are as vivid as ever. Unnecessary details have been stripped away, but the snow-scented streets of Russia, the glitter of ballrooms and the hum of train tracks remain. As you turn the pages, the question “Does happiness require courage or price?” rings in your ears. All the shadows and lights of a classic masterpiece – with fewer pages, but with the same impact.
