What if your love story ended not in romance—but in murder?

The Kreutzer Sonata is Leo Tolstoy's explosive confession of a man undone by love. On a quiet train ride, a fellow passenger shares the dark tale of his marriage—one that spiraled from desire into mistrust, jealousy, and eventually, an unthinkable crime.

In this modern translation, Tolstoy's intense meditation on passion, marriage, and morality is presented with emotional depth and gripping clarity. A powerful short novel that holds nothing back.

What You'll Hear in This Adaptation:

- A deeply personal, psychological descent into obsessive jealousy and regret

- A bold critique of love, marriage, and sexual hypocrisy

- A modern, emotionally intense rendition of Tolstoy's rawest novella

- A tale of moral struggle that asks: Can love survive truth?

Short in length but epic in its emotional and ethical impact, The Kreutzer Sonata will challenge what you think you know about love.
