Description

Immerse yourself in Tolstoy's masterful exploration of passion, fate, and human nature with this exquisite clothbound edition of Anna Karenina from Penguin Classics. At first glance, Anna Karenina appears to have it all: stunning looks, affluence, social standing, and a cherished son. Yet, a profound emptiness plagues her until a chance encounter with the dashing Count Vronsky ignites a passionate affair that sets tongues wagging and hearts ablaze.

As their forbidden romance unfolds, it leaves a trail of scandal, jealousy, and resentment in its wake, threatening to unravel the very fabric of their lives. Juxtaposed against this tale of all-consuming love and its consequences is the meticulously crafted narrative of Levin, a man grappling with life's purpose and his own existential quandaries—a character who serves as a thinly veiled self-portrait of Tolstoy himself.

This lauded modern translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, recipients of the 2001 PEN/Book of the Month Club Translation Prize, breathes new life into Tolstoy's timeless prose. Accompanied by Pevear's insightful introduction and a preface from John Bayley, this edition offers readers an unparalleled journey into the heart of Russian literature.

Critics have hailed this translation as nothing short of revolutionary. Lisa Appignanesi of The Independent declared it "a must" in her Books of the Year selection, whilst James Wood of The New Yorker praised Pevear and Volokhonsky's ability to capture "the palpability of Tolstoy's characters, acts, situations" with unprecedented clarity. Prepare to be captivated by this fresh take on a literary classic that continues to enthral readers across generations.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
