Arguably the finest work of written art ever produced, Anna Karenina was the masterpiece of Leo Tolstoy. Produced in installments for five years, the full work wasn't seen together until 1878. Anna Karenina is the tragic story of a married aristocrat and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story starts when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though she would experience less tolerance by others. A bachelor, Vronsky is eager to marry her if she would agree to leave her husband Karenin, a government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, her own insecurities, and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky and Anna go to Italy, where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances, she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity, fearing loss of control. A parallel story within the novel is that of Konstantin Levin, a country landowner who wants to marry Kitty, sister to Dolly and sister-in-law to Anna's brother Oblonsky. Konstantin has to propose twice before Kitty accepts. The novel details Konstantin's difficulties managing his estate, his eventual marriage, and his personal issues, until the birth of his first child. The novel explores a diverse range of topics throughout its 754 pages. Some of these topics include an evaluation of the feudal system that existed in Russia at the time—politics, not only in the Russian government but also at the level of the individual characters and families, religion, morality, gender and social class. Fairhaven Press is presenting this book in its entirety at the request of those looking for a new paperback version. It should also be noted that Leo Tolstoy spent the later years of his life yearning for his copyright to this book (and others) to be removed so that all would be able to read his works. He saw too much censorship in his life and felt that all work should be available to everyone. It is in this spirit that we proudly offer up this classic work. It is truly the best work of art ever written and should be read by everyone. -- the editors at Fairhaven Press

While flying across the country, pilots have a network of automated weather stations that can be called up (by phone or radio) to hear about what the weather is like along their route. For over 2,000 of these stations, there is also a public phone number that can be dialed to hear the same automated weather reports. This book offers up a listing of all of the stations, organized by state, county, and city. It includes the airport name and identifier along with the phone number and radio frequency of the automated weather report. This directory is an indispensable tool for both motorists and aviators. Since these stations are scattered across the nation, you can call ahead and see what the weather is doing along your route. It is also good for those at home who want to know what the weather is like at their hometown airport or anywhere else in the country. Printed in the USA by Fairhaven Press.

Fairhaven Press is proud to publish another historically significant title in the String Music Archaeology series. The String Music Archaeology series consists of both original scholarship and reproductions of important out-of-press titles. This book is republished from the original 1940 text by Panum and Pulver. It is not pristine, but it is the best copy currently available. This title is being republished due to its critical research in the evolution of stringed instruments during the Middle Ages. This period in history saw some of the most interesting developments in how modern stringed instruments were formed. Panum and Pulver explore the early history of stringed instruments and how they evolved spread around the world during this time period. This text is a critical handbook in fully understanding an important period in the history of stringed instrument development. This text is useful for scholars of string music as well as anyone interested in learning how modern instruments came to be. It is being republished primarily for my own students, but all should feel free to read and learn. This text is provided with ample illustrations for each category of instrument covered. Unlike the other versions available, we have gone to great lengths to improve the quality of each image in the title. Visit our website for more information or to see our other titles.
