Summary

Anna Karenina tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel's seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness.
Available since: 10/23/2017.

    White Fang is the grim, savage story of the wolf dog White Fang, who is taught to kill for their pleasure - and a story of one man's redeeming insight into the killer's true nature. This story is terrifying. The parable of man's corrupting depravity and natural nobility is sadly true for today. Jack London is an extraordinarily talented writer.
