Anna Karenina (Deluxe Hardbound Edition)

It's a good product for this price range. Abviously this is one of the Tolstoy's masterpiece. Even though the papers are very thin, this book is a good buy.

The product was terrible. The binding of the book was torn even though I exchanged it. My refund is also not credited. Terrible experience.

I ordered the set of two books but one was missing.

What can be said. Perhaps the greatest novel ever written. And so nice to have in a beautiful hard cover edition.

The book is of course an incredible drama with wonderful characters, however the book seems to have been Google translated (or worse) and only the initial chapters have been gerbier and edited.The English grammar is so incorrect more and more frequently as you progress through the book that is impossible to be sure from a sentence who did what to do and how many of them there were.I habe up at about 40% through the book because the frequency of unintelligible phrases had increased so much that I was guessing the meaning more often than not.This book is a classic, written for normal people to read and when the grammar is OK, the book reads perfectly. However this is unfortunately very difficult to recommend as the classic story is lost to auto translation( I expect).Find another version of the book!

Unbelievable number of typos.

This is a classic' of course and I have rated it with regard to my enjoyment rather than its merits. Although Anna Karenina is a main part of the story, to me it was a comment on Russian society of that time and the beginnings of the revolutionary ideas. It abounded with philosophies regarding the rural economy; the over indulged elite, war etc. the romances running through did give relief. I found some of it 'tedious' and hard going but nevertheless appreciated why it is a classic. Contrary to popular belief, I thought Anna was a rather self centred woman.

Read it by myself - a masterpiece.Then bought this particular edition for the most beautiful girl I know as a birthday gift - made her happy, so I am happy with the purchase, too.Tolstoy knew life, intimately.
