Kreutzer Sonata
(??? ?????????? ???????)

Publicidade
?Kreutzer Sonata? is a late work by Leo Tolstoy characterized at the same time by deep intellectuality and poor literary quality. Along with Tolstoy?s ?Resurrection,? this lengthy, compositionally unsteady and full of philosophical sidetracks novella is a perfect example of ?late Tolstoy? writing. An inconsistent story of a fellow-traveler about tragic love and jealousy (reminiscent of the beginning of F. M. Dostoyevsky?s ?Idiot?) turns into an exposition of views on marriage, family, relations of the sexes, women?s right, etc. Aside from a few powerful and strictly narrative passages in which Tolstoy?s writing genius subdues the inclination to dreadful moralizations, the protagonist of the work is Tolstoy?s intellectual rambling and not the story teller, the husband who murdered his wife in a fit of jealousy. Tolstoy concludes that the institution of marriage is flawed because it has its roots in a sinful attraction to the opposite sex and in unruly passions. Paradoxically, Tolstoy?s radical and uncompromising philosophies, results of his interpretation of Christian teachings, led the writer to renouncing historic Christianity and to a final break with the Church.
