Anna Karenina Audio Book
Anna Karenina is the famous love story by Leo Tolstoy. It’s a comprehensive 35 hours audiobook narrated by Nadia May and published by Blackstone Audio Inc.
“One of the greatest love stories in world literature.”Vladimir Nabokov
Considered one of the pinnacles of world literature. Merriam-Websters Encyclopedia of Literature
A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution, Anna Karenina portrays the moving story of people whose emotions conflict with the dominant social mores of their time.
Sensual, rebellious Anna falls deeply and passionately in love with the handsome Count Vronsky. When she refuses to conduct the discreet affair that her cold, ambitious husband (and Russian high society) would condone, she is doomed. Set against the tragic love of Anna and Vronsky, the plight of the melancholy nobleman Konstantine Levin unfolds. In doubt about the meaning of life, haunted by thoughts of suicide, Levin’s struggles echo Tolstoys own spiritual crisis. But Annas inner turmoil mirrors the emotional imprisonment and mental disintegration of a woman who dares to transgress the strictures of a patriarchal world.
In Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy brought to perfection the novel of social realism and created a masterpiece that bared the Russian soul.
Count Lev (Leo) Nikolayevich Tolstoy was born in Russia in 1828. His parents, who died when he was young, were of noble birth. He served in the army in the Caucasus and Crimea, where he wrote his first stories. In 1862 he married and in 1869 produced the masterpiece War and Peace. He died in 1910 at age 82.

You’ll learn the best practice weasel methods for avoiding work, besting coworkers, and hiding your incompetence. To enhance your personal life, you’ll find precise instructions for training your spouse to become your remote-controlled robot, whining like a weasel no matter how good your life is (even if you’re a bestselling author!) and using Weaseleze, the official tongue of weasels, to conceal your meaning and confuse your enemies.
