Controversial upon its publication in 1890, The Kreutzer Sonata
illuminates Tolstoy’s then-feverish Christian ideals, his conflicts
with lust and the hypocrisies of nineteenth-century marriage, and his
thinking on the role of art and music in society. The Kreutzer Sonata
is essentially a discussion in which the character Pozdnyshev tells
of his disasterous marriage. A cautionary tale, it is a declamation
against immorality and sexual indulgence. Newly designed and typeset
in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.
