Title : The Kreutzer Sonata / The Devil / Marital Happiness - Leo Tolstoy - Book
Summary :
Love stories that fall apart, characters tormented by their feelings, attractions, and impulses, couples that tear each other apart until death: these are the subjects addressed by Tolstoy in these three stories. The author becomes a moralist and analyzes all the upheavals of relationships between men and women, ranging from desire seen as a drug to married life, experienced as a gradual disenchantment. Denouncing sensuality, debauchery, but also marriage "set up from scratch like a trap" (The Kreutzer Sonata), Tolstoy paints a picture of human relationships that is as fascinating as it is frightening: does a love story inevitably become a story of hate?
