About this listen

Part 1 Chapter 1 through Part 3 Chapter 7 plunges you straight into the sweeping, emotionally charged world of Anna Karenina—the timeless novel by Leo Tolstoy that inspired the lavish Hollywood adaptation starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law.

If you were captivated by the film’s candlelit ballrooms, aching glances, and devastating choices, this audiobook takes you deeper—into the inner lives, unspoken longings, and moral tensions that cinema can only hint at. This is the story that gave Keira Knightley her haunting, iconic role as Anna: brilliant, magnetic, and caught between passion and society’s unforgiving rules. Alongside her stands Jude Law’s stoic Karenin, a performance rooted in the same psychological depth and quiet tragedy you’ll now experience in full through Tolstoy’s prose.

Think sweeping period drama meets intimate character study. Love and betrayal unfold like a prestige historical epic, yet every thought, doubt, and desire plays out in vivid, cinematic detail. From glittering aristocratic salons to private moments of reckoning, these opening chapters lay the foundation for one of the most powerful romantic tragedies ever written—fuel for both literature lovers and movie fans alike.

If you love grand films, unforgettable performances, and stories that linger long after the credits roll, this audiobook is where the real drama begins.
