Anna Karenina
By Leo Tolstoy
Considered by some to be the world's greatest novel, Anna KarTnina
contains two plots: the tragedy of Madame Karenina, in love with a man who
is not her husband, and the story of Konstantine Levin, a sensitive man
whose personal philosophy is Tolstoy's reason for writing about him.
Trapped in a loveless marriage, Anna is defenseless against the power of
her passions once they are unleashed by the adoration of Count Vronsky,
forcing Anna to pay a heavy price.

The Brothers Karamazov
By Fyodor M. Dostoevsky
The Brothers Karamazov tells the stirring tale of four brothers: the
pleasure-seeking, impatient Dmitri; the brilliant and morose Ivan; the
gentle, loving, and honest Alyosha; and the illegitimate Smerdyakov, shy,
silent, and cruel. They are behind the murder of one of literature's most
despicable characters: their father. This was Dostoyevsky's final and
perhaps his finest work.
