Anna Karenina, by Leo
Tolstoy
Considered
by some to be the greatest novel ever written, Anna Karenina is Tolstoy's
classic tale of love and adultery set against the backdrop of high society in
Moscow and Saint Petersburg. A rich and complex masterpiece, the novel charts
the disastrous course of a love affair between Anna, a beautiful married woman,
and Count Vronsky, a wealthy army officer. Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together
the lives of dozens of characters, and in doing so captures a breathtaking
tapestry of late-nineteenth-century Russian society.

literary editor from 1943 to 1945. It was toward the end of the war that he
wrote Animal Farm, and when it was over he moved to Scotland. It was
Animal Farm that made finally Orwell prosperous. His other world wide success
was Nineteen Eighty-Four, which Orwell said was written "to alter other people's
idea of the kind of society they should strive after." Sadly Orwell never lived
to see how successful it would become. http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/

the Atlantic were once joined (South America and Africa in particular). Late in
life, in his five-volume work Kosmos, he attempted to unify the various
