Everybody has an opinion on the best books to read. There
are hundreds of lists online of the 10 best books to read, or the 25 books
everyone should read, or the 100 books you need to read before you die. But if
you’re looking for a dozen great novels, look no further than the list of the Greatest Books Ever Written on the
website of the “Encyclopedia Britannica.”
“Anna Karenina,” by Leo Tolstoy is
the tragic story of Anna Karenina, a married noblewoman and socialite, and her
affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. Called by Dostoyevsky “flawless as a
work of art,” the novel explores several topics, including politics, religion,
morality, gender and social class.
