The Kreutzer Sonata
Leo Tolstoy
When Marshal of the Nobility Pozdnyshev suspects his wife of having an affair with her music partner, his jealousy consumes him and drives him to murder. Controversial upon 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. In her Introduction, Doris Lessing shows how relevant The Kreutzer Sonata is to our understanding of Tolstoy the artist, as well as to feminism and literature. This Modern Library Paperback Classic also contains Tolstoy’s Sequel to the Kruetzer Sonata .

0Es el primer escrito de Tolstoi que leo, así que quizás mi crítica sea algo común en él, pero esa insistencia de colocar sus propias críticas en la voz del protagonista, y de manera poco sutil, hicieron el texto algo aburrido. Es decir, si, es una historia increíble y bastante llamativa, pero la cuestión de los celos queda un poco subyugada bajo las lecciones morales que agrega el escritor.
