One of the greatest love stories in world literature
Vladimir Nabokov
Tolstoy's historical and human sweep is breathtaking. His vision, humanity and his knowledge that love and pain are at the heart of life is the most important of all the profound truths revealed in this great novel
Jonathan Dimbleby
In Anna Karenina, Tolstoy got totally inside the mind of a woman who is prepared to lose everything for the sake of man and who is so much in love that she commits suicide. I don't like her as a woman, but I think it is a brilliant portrait, unequalled in literature
Amanda Craig, Independent
I've read and re-read this novel and every time I find another layer in the story
Philippa Gregory
I first read Anna Karenina 20 years ago when travelling across the Peruvian desert on a long bus journey, and it has stayed with me ever since
Hugh Thomson, Independent
Anyone who has read Anna Karenina will be aware of its extraordinary power as an epic psychological tale of a woman who gives up her husband and son for the sake of an affair with a handsome army officer. It has humour but, as with all of Tolstoy's works, it is completely without sentimentality
Mail on Sunday
I just love this classic romance about a married mother who succumbs to an unsuitable lover and becomes pregnant by him, which of course results in all sorts of pressures and heartache. The best love story ever told
Kay Burley
Probably one of the greatest novelistic treatments of the torments of love
Daily Mail
Some of the biggest burns from classic literature.
