Leo Tolstoy

The Kreutzer Sonata Leo Tolstoy Library, Unabridged Library edition

[This is the Audiobook CD Library Edition in vinyl case.]

[Read by Simon Prebble]

A psychological tale of nineteenth-century marriage, Christian ideals, jealousy, and murder.

One of the world's greatest novelists, Leo Tolstoy was also the author of a number of superb short stories, one of his best known being ''The Kreutzer Sonata.'' This macabre story involves the murder of a wife by her husband. It is a penetrating study of jealousy as well as a piercing complaint about the way in which society educates men and women in matters of sex--a serious condemnation of the mores and attitudes of the wealthy, educated class.
