Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Trapped in a loveless marriage, Anna embarks on a passionate affair that defies social norms and ultimately leads to her downfall. Set against the backdrop of aristocratic Russia, the story also follows the idealistic Levin as he searches for meaning and love. The plot weaves personal drama with philosophical depth. A sweeping, tragic novel about love, betrayal, and the struggle for happiness. One of literature’s most powerful portraits of desire and consequence.
