Publication of The Kreutzer Sonata in 1889 was a significant
intellectual event worldwide. Censored in Russia, it set off an
explosive debate in Europe, America, and Asia on matters relating
to sexual abstinence and the hypocrisy of marriage. The novella
emphasizes Tolstoy's controversial view on sexuality, which asserts
that physical desire is an obstacle to relations between men and
women and may result in tragedy. The Kreutzer Sonata has been
recognized as among the best examples of Tolstoy's art of
storytelling.(Introduction by Dorlene Kaplan)
