Summary

Anna Karenina is beautiful, married to a successful man, and has a son whom she adores. But a chance meeting at a train station in Moscow sets her passionate heart alight, and she is defenceless in the face of Count Vronsky's adoration. Having defied the rules of 19th-century Russian society, Anna is forced to pay a heavy price.

Human nature, with all its failings, is the fabric of which this great and intense work is composed. Anna Karenina has been described as the perfect Russian novel.

a real pain to download

Any additional comments?

I am not going to review the book but the download.
It took me 2 hours to get it so that it actually works. First I downloaded another version, which sounded horrible on my mp3 player (Philips). I downloaded the format that was recommended for Philips, still... I returned it (luckily I could do it after a bit of pain). Then I chose this version of the book. Audible Manager got confused, froze three times during download. I couldn't delete the previous version from my mp3 player using the program and the new uploaded version did not appear anywhere on my mp3 player. Finally I just copy pasted it from my computer. This Audible Manager is totally stupid and useless but yes: you have to use the program because you have to active your player to play the book... no comment... Finally the 40 hour long book appeared as 6 pieces of approx. 8 hour long files on my player. I can see that each 8 hour long session is divided originally into 30 separate pieces, but I can only play the 8 hour long thing as one. Super handy as everyone listens to the story for 8 hours non-stop. Now I will need to write up where I was if I would like to listen to anything else too and also I will have to wind the file for minutes to actually get there. Well done.

Masterpiece

I read this many years ago and loved but I read it as a doomed love story. It is that of course but so much more. It takes us to the heart of Russian society and through Leavin and Anna we get a psycholgical and philosophical understanding of a world that in fifty years will have disappeared. Absolutely brilliant.

well recommended

I can not recommend this book highly enough. its a long book but well worth the read, it covers so many deep and challenging topics, death, love, the futility of existence, the meaning of life, the encroachment of the industrial world, the abolition of serfdom, workers rights, women's place in 18th-century society. and so much more. written with sensitivity and intelligence, and brilliantly narrated by Kate Lock
