Anna Karenina

In the novel "Anna Karenina," through the stories of several families, both happy and unhappy, Leo Tolstoy spoke about love, passion, the meaning of life, and the subtle movements of the human soul - it seems that in this book, the world classic understood people more than they understand themselves.

In this edition, the novel is reproduced with enchantingly expressive drawings by the artist Orest Vereysky. The artist devoted almost four years to illustrating "Anna Karenina." "These were happy years," he recalled. "I was constantly filled with an overwhelming excitement that, not fearing high-sounding words, I want to call a sense of reverent awe. Such a feeling, of course, could not in itself predetermine success... but it certainly protected me from the search for an easy way. And the work was a joy."
