Leo Tolstoy
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.
Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was born in Russia. His parents, who died when he was young, were of noble birth. He served in the army in the Caucasus and Crimea, where he wrote his first stories. He is especially known for his masterpieces, War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877).

So disturbing...

I know that the story mirrors a bit too closely some of Tolstoy's own views on marriage and women, but I did not find the book to be too autobiographical or reflective of the writer. I was able to read the book without thinking about Tolstoy, and although I am a proud feminist I was able to set aside my modern views and enjoy the book for what it is.
Tolstoy is a genius, of course

The story is anything but “sex-positive.” On the contrary, Tolstoy writes about sex with an almost scatological ferocity. It isn't apparent from this particular edition of the story, but it seems that Tolstoy shared more of his protagonist’s attitude toward sex, and toward women, than was good for him. He apparently shared his protagonist’s belief that total abstinence from all sexual contact, for all people everywhere, was a necessary step in building a just society. He made this explicit in an appendix that is sometimes included with the story (though not here). He overlooked a much simpler solution that was ready to hand: don't be a jerk.
Simon Prebble narrates the story with grace but also with strong passion: I believed him as a character driven to murder by his own demons. He is sometimes downright frightening, especially as the story reaches its climax. But even with that, Prebble’s voice somehow conveys the sense that he's enjoying the task of reading it.
Passionate reading

This short story builds and builds tension and extracts from the reader so much emotion, that I was left in awe.
The performance is top notch, Prebble almost sings it like a bard, and performs it like a Greek tragedy.
This is a powerful story that I soon won’t forget. Leo Tolstoy and Homer are equals, and I understand the weight that statement carries.
Masterful, brilliant, a must read!
