Excerpt from Master and Man: The Kreutzer Sonata Dramas The Kreutzer Sonata has probably been more misunderstood than any other of Count Tolsto'i's writ ings.

Excerpt from Work While Ye Have the LightIT has been the misfortune of Count Tolstoi to become widely known in the West of Europe at the very moment when he was performing a complete change of dress. The legitimate enthusiasm which his works of the imagination might awaken has been confused with the perhaps equally legitimate, but certainly much more obvious and vulgar surprise at the amazing character of his new social and religious views. If...
