Kroyçer Sonata

Ergin Altay's translation, Doris Lessing's foreword, the author's article about the novel, author and period chronology, and visuals about the book. Kroycher Sonata, written by Tolstoy in his old age, when he was struggling with a spiritual crisis, is a violent objection directed by the author to the institution of marriage. A nobleman named Pozdnisev, after carefully listening to the conversations about male-female relations and increasing divorce cases in the wagon he was traveling in, joins the conversation and makes a confession: He convinced himself that his wife was cheating on him with a young musician, and eventually had a fit of jealousy and got his hands dirty. Kroyçer Sonata, whose publication process was full of controversy, is a work of Tolstoy's maturity period in which he describes his thoughts on the state of the institution of marriage in the 19th century by blending it with his ideas about art and music. "His art is so effective...so original and universal that it easily overshadows his sermons. In the long run, as a thinker, his interest was in such matters as Life and Death."
-Vladimir Nabokov-
