Controversial upon publication in 1890, <i>The Kreutzer Sonata</i> 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. <p/>In her Introduction, Doris Lessing shows how relevant <i>The Kreutzer Sonata</i> is to our understanding of Tolstoy the artist, as well as to feminism and literature. This Modern Library Paperback Classic also contains Tolstoy's <i>Sequel to the Kruetzer Sonata</i>.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Moments of dramatic genius: a wracking vision of marriage as jealousy nourished, hatred voluptuously fed, rage taken for breakfast."--Elizabeth Hardwick<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Doris Lessing</b> was born in Persia in 1919 to British parents, and grew up in Rhodesia.
