description: A magnificent drama of vengeance, infidelity, and retribution, Anna Karenina is the moving story of people whose emotions conflict with the dominant social mores of their time.  Tolstoy's masterful novel is one of the greatest works of world literature...it is a novel of social realism that perfectly bares the Russian soul, set against the fascinating panorama of life in nineteenth-century Russia.  With a full-cast and stirring music, this compelling story of one woman's fate is brought to life in this powerful BBC production.
