The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories

These four novellas, each unique in form, show Tolstoy at his creative height. Written over a period of almost fifty years, they reflect his changing views on art and sexuality, women and marriage, nationalism and ethnicity, war and empire, and the central Tolstoyan theme of love. This edition uses the famous and superior Maude translations (except Family Happiness, translated by J.D. Duff), corrected against modern standard Russian texts to create the English language
version.
