Leo Tolstoj 
Anna Karenina [EPUB ebook] 

Widely regarded as a pinnacle in realist fiction, Tolstoy considered Anna Karenina his first true novel, when he came to consider War and Peace to be more than a novel.Fyodor Dostoyevsky declared it ‚flawless as a work of art.‘ His opinion was shared by Vladimir Nabokov, who especially admired ‚the flawless magic of Tolstoy’s style, ‚ and by William Faulkner, who described the novel as, ‚the best ever written.‘ The novel continues to enjoy popularity, as demonstrated by a recent poll of 125 contemporary authors by J. Peder Zane, published in 2007 in ‚The Top Ten‘ in Time, which declared that Anna Karenina is the ‚greatest novel ever written.‘
