Крейцерова соната by Leo Tolstoy
A bitter husband recounts to fellow travelers how overwhelming jealousy and suspicion over his wife’s relationship with a musician drove him to murder her, presenting his act as the culmination of corrosive sexual jealousy, the intoxicating power of music, and the hypocrisies of conventional marriage. The narrative mixes a confessional, almost courtroom tone with moral argument, attacking sensual marriage, sexual double standards, and social institutions while exposing the narrator’s own contradictions and moral blindness.
