Anna Karenina

Anna Karenina (Анна Каренина) is a novel by the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy first published in periodical installments from 1875 to 1877. The novel first appeared as a serial in the periodical Ruskii Vestnik (Russian: "Русский Вестник", "Russian Messenger") -- but Tolstoy clashed with its editor Mikhail Katkov over issues that arose in the final installment. Therefore, the novel's first complete appearance was in book form.
