The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories

"The Kreutzer Sonata" caused a public sensation with its indictment of so-called Christian marriage.

About the author
Leo Tolstoy (9 September – 20 November 1910), was a Russian writer who is regarded as one of the greatest authors of all time. He received nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature every year from 1902 to 1906 and for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1901, 1902, and 1909. That he never won is a major controversy.
