  <default_description>When Marshal of the Nobility Pozdnyshev suspects his wife of having an affair with her music partner, his jealousy consumes him and drives him to murder. Controversial upon publication in 1890, &lt;i&gt;The Kreutzer Sonata&lt;/i&gt; illuminates Tolstoy&amp;#8217;s then-feverish Christian ideals, his conflicts with lust and the hypocrisies of nineteenth-century marriage, and his thinking on the role of art and music in society.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In her Introduction, Doris Lessing shows how relevant &lt;i&gt;The Kreutzer Sonata&lt;/i&gt; is to our understanding of Tolstoy the artist, as well as to feminism and literature. This Modern Library Paperback Classic also contains Tolstoy&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;Sequel to the Kruetzer Sonata&lt;/i&gt;.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[    A book about the abuse of sexuality, false gealousy (only pride, in my opinion), adultery, obsessions which leaded to murder, all packed in the life details of the 19th century Russia.<br/>    But the afterword (epilogue) ruins everything. Lev Tolstoy, trying to explain the message of the book,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63949042">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a dense version of some of the psychology I enjoyed in Anna Karenina. Tolstoy explores the psyche and morality of a man long after he has murdered his wife in a bestial rage of jealousy. The reader has quite a distance from the event - first as a reader, second since the narrator is a young...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45852013">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This speculative novella should be required pre-Pre-Cana reading.  Tolstoy's argument about the sinfulness of marriage is indisputable from a scriptural perspective, and his thoughts on child-rearing have more cogency than those found in most contemporary parenting how-tos. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wow. Tolstoy is amazing. Partly, I think, because what he wrote still applies to us today. This is a short book, but it's not a fast read (not exactly) because it's so deep and there is so much to take in. There is a lot of philosophy about love and life and women's rights and even slavery. Fabulous...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74399596">more...</a>]]></body>
