| Description: |
Contains a new translation of Leo Tolstoy's controversial novella, The Kreutzer Sonata, which was initially banned by Russian censors. This title provides a revealing case study of the powerful disputes concerning sexuality and gender roles that erupted within the cultural context of late nineteenth-century Russian, as well as European, society. |
| Synopsis: |
A work unprecedented in world literature, this unique volume contains a new translation of Lev Tolstoy's controversial novella The Kreutzer Sonata, which was initially banned by Russian censors. In addition, available to English readers for the first time is a fascinating and previously neglected constellation of counterstories written by the author's wife and son in direct response to Tolstoy's provocative tale, each a passionate attempt to undo the message of the original work. These radically conflicting tales, accompanied by excerpts from family letters, diaries, notes, and memoirs, provide readers with a vivid and highly revealing case study of the powerful disputes concerning sexuality and gender roles that erupted within the cultural context of late-nineteenth-century Russian, as well as European, society. |
