On a train journey, Pozdnyshev tells his story to a stranger: how
his relationship with his wife gradually deteriorated from one of
love and passion to jealousy and resentfulness, culminating in a
mad act of desperation while she practised Beethoven's Kreutzer
Sonata with her violin teacher. An uncompromising examination of
lust, suspicion and infidelity which was once forbidden by censors
in Russia and banned in the US due to its shocking content,
Tolstoy's controversial novella - here presented in a new
translation, along with 'The Prisoner of the Caucasus', 'Master and
Man' and 'After the Ball' - is now considered one of the
masterpieces of Tolstoy's late period.
