Publisher's Synopsis
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.
