Anna Karenina

The greatest novel about love, family, the nature of passion, and the meaning of life.

“The Main Books of Russian Literature” is a joint series by the publishing house “Alpina. Proza” and the internet project “Polka”. The works released in this series are selected by contemporary writers, critics, literary scholars, and educators. It is both an attempt to define what the Russian literary canon looks like today and a new perspective on well-known works: each book is accompanied by a preface from the authors of “Polka”.
