Publisher's Summary

One of Tolstoy’s most important shorter works, The Kreutzer Sonata presents a problematic view of the relationship between the sexes and promotes abstinence as the solution.

Pozdnyshev jealously observes the intimacy that emerges between his wife and a violin player. Haunted by The Kreutzer Sonata, over which they bonded, it plays round and round in Pozdnyshev’s head, driving him to distraction and to an unquenchable rage.

The Kreutzer Sonata is a psychologically fascinating novella, offering interesting insights into the power play between the sexes.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
