QR code
"Kreuzer-sonaatti" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a novella published in 1889. During a train journey, a man named Pozdnyshev recounts the harrowing story of how he murdered his wife in a jealous rage. He blames their troubled marriage on carnal desire and society's corrupted views of relationships between men and women. When his wife befriends a violinist and they perform Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata together, Pozdnyshev's jealousy erupts into violence. The controversial work
argues for sexual abstinence and was immediately censored by Russian authorities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
