The Original Anna Karenina

By: Leo Tolstoy

Narrated by: Geoffrey Giuliano, The Rebellion

Anna Karenina remains one of the most profound and human stories ever written, a sweeping portrait of desire, duty, sacrifice, and the quiet storms of the heart. In this definitive presentation of Leo Tolstoy’s original masterpiece, listeners are drawn into a world where the glitter of Imperial Russia hides wounds that only love—and its consequences—can reveal.

At the center stands Anna, a woman of extraordinary sensitivity and courage, whose search for emotional truth challenges the strict expectations of her society. Her journey, intertwined with the moral awakening of Konstantin Levin, creates a rich panorama of family life, social change, and the eternal struggle between personal happiness and the demands of the world.

In this powerful new performance by Geoffrey Giuliano, Emmy-nominated actor and creative force behind The Rebellion, Tolstoy’s characters breathe with renewed intensity. Every whisper, every heartbreak, every moment of passion and conflict is delivered with clarity, depth, and an unflinching understanding of the human condition.

This is Anna Karenina as it was meant to be experienced: bold, emotional, timeless, an enduring testament to the cost of love, the weight of conscience, and the unforgettable lives shaped by both. It is a work that challenges us to see ourselves more clearly, to question the choices that shape our lives, and to feel deeply for those who walk the fragile line between duty and desire. Even now, its truths echo across centuries, reminding us that the human heart remains as complex and courageous as ever.
