Anna Karenina was first published as a serial in The Russian Messenger between 1873 and 1877, although due to Tolstoy’s difference of opinion with the editor of the periodical, it was not published in its complete form until the novel was released in 1877. Anna Karenina has been adapted for radio, stage, ballet, opera, and film, including the eagerly anticipated release of the 2012 movie starring actress Keira Knightley in the title role.
