<br/><br/>The Kreutzer sonata — The devil — The forged coupon — After the ball. 
<br/><br/> On a train journey, Pozdnyshev tells his story to a stranger: how his relationship with his wife gradually deteriorated from one of love and passion to jealousy and resentfulness, culminating in a mad act of desperation while she practised Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata with her violin teacher.<br/><br/>An uncompromising examination of lust, suspicion and infidelity which was once forbidden by censors in Russia and banned in the US due to its shocking content, Tolstoy's controversial novella – here presented in a new translation, along with 'The Prisoner of the Caucasus', 'Master and Man' and 'After the Ball' – is now considered one of the masterpieces of Tolstoy's late period.
