Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude.
Anna is a beautiful, intelligent woman whose passionate affair with the dashing Count Vronsky leads her to ruin. But her story is also about a search for meaning, and by twinning it with that of Levin, an awkward idealist whose happy marriage and domestic trials form the backdrop for a similar quest, Tolstoy creates a rich and complex masterpiece that has captured the imagination of readers and listeners for decades.
The Vintage Classic Russians Series: Published for the 100th anniversary of the 1917 Russian Revolution, these are must-have editions of six epic masterpieces that have survived controversy, censorship and suppression to influence decades of thought and artistic expression.

Outstanding translation that is very well narrated
This is a compelling story suffused with rare psychological insight. The translation is by the Maudes who spoke perfect Russian and consulted with Tolstoy personally. The narrator, Tamaryn, does an excellent job of voicing both male and female characters, giving distinct voices to important characters, and most importantly she lives the story instead of just reading text. Fantastic refurbishing of a classic masterpiece.

Good story and very good narrator
Explores human emotions and philosophy quite well in this entertaining story.
And Tamaryn Payne has perhaps found her calling as a narrator! To my ears, at least, her voice had the perfect tone and accent for this novel and a lovely sound, and her characterisations were excellent.
