Married to an important minister, the fate of Anna Karenina – one of the most beloved and unforgettable heroines of literature – changes when she falls in love with an elegant army officer. Defying all the conventions of 19th-century Russian society, Anna leaves her husband and son to live with Count Vronsky, pursuing the passion that binds them. However, the negative reaction of her peers, the longing for the child she left behind, and the jealousy that haunts her days end up consuming her, leading her to choose for herself the most tragic of endings.

With Anna Karenina, Porto Editora launches the WRITING IS TRANSLATING collection, which recovers the literary translations made by José Saramago between the 1950s and 1980s, even before his true recognition as a writer.
