The novel does allude to wanking, immorality, adultery, abortion, etc. The story was censored briefly in 1890 (its censorship was later overturned), but that didn't stop Theodore Roosevelt calling Tolstoy a "sexual moral pervert". During this discussion he admits that in a jealous rage he once killed his wife (and was later aquited). It is basically a man, Pozdnyshev, discussing his feelings on marriage, morality, and family on a train ride with some strangers. It is the sad, second wife to Anna Karenina*. But 'The Kreutzer Sonata' plays like the writings of an over-indulged, philosophically-stretched, cranky, Fundamentalist older man. War and Peace, also amazes me and easily belongs on the list of Great World Novels. "Love, marriage, family,-all lies, lies, lies." - Leo Tolstoy, The Krutzer Sonata First, let me start this review by stating I think Anna Karenina might just be a perfect novel.
Love, Marriage, Family:: Wine, Women, Music
