Leo Tolstoy
Acerca de esta escucha
One of the world’s greatest novelists, Leo Tolstoy was also the author of a number of superb short stories, one of his best known being “The Kreutzer Sonata.” This macabre story involves the murder of a wife by her husband. It is a penetrating study of jealousy as well as a piercing complaint about the way in which society educates men and women in matters of sex - a serious condemnation of the mores and attitudes of the wealthy, educated class.
Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was born in Russia. His parents, who died when he was young, were of noble birth. He served in the army in the Caucasus and Crimea, where he wrote his first stories. He is especially known for his masterpieces, War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877).

Historia
Hailed as one of the world’s masterpieces of psychological realism, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high-court judge who has never given the inevitability of his death so much as a passing thought. But one day death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise he is brought face-to-face with his own mortality. How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth?

In Othello, Shakespeare creates powerful drama from a marriage between the exotic Moor Othello and the Venetian lady Desdemona. Shakespeare builds many differences into his hero and heroine, including race, age, and cultural background. Yet most audiences believe the couple’s strong love would overcome these differences were it not for Iago, who sets out to destroy Othello.

"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is an exploration of the nature of evil and how far a man can go towards it when released from the constraints of what can be called civilisation. Before beginning his life as a writer at the age of 36, Conrad spent 16 years as a merchant seaman. In 1889 he became captain of a steamboat in the Congo Free State, and the atrocities he witnessed there, perpetrated by the representatives of the Belgian colonial powers, led him to write what he called his Congo Diary.

Faust is one of the pillars of Western literature. This classic drama presents the story of the scholar Faust, tempted into a contract with the Devil in return for a life of sensuality and power. Enjoyment rules, until Faust’s emotions are stirred by a meeting with Gretchen, and the tragic outcome brings Part 1 to an end. Part 2, written much later in Goethe’s life, places his eponymous hero in a variety of unexpected circumstances, causing him to reflect on humanity and its attitudes to life and death.

Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most 20-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. And then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage.

Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

When first published in 1759, Candide became an instant best seller and is now regarded as one of the key texts of the Enlightenment. Voltaire’s preoccupations with evil and with various kinds of human folly and intolerance found a perfect vehicle in this philosophical tale. A master storyteller, he combined often wildly entertaining action with profoundly serious sense, parodying the traditional chivalric and oriental tales with which his public was more familiar.

Extortion, scandal, and murder follow, testing the wreckage left by human misery to find "man in man."

Historia
The murder of brutal landowner Fyodor Karamazov changes the lives of his sons irrevocably: Mitya, the sensualist, whose bitter rivalry with his father immediately places him under suspicion for parricide; Ivan, the intellectual, driven to breakdown; the spiritual Alyosha, who tries to heal the family's rifts; and the shadowy figure of their bastard half-brother, Smerdyakov. Dostoyevsky's dark masterwork evokes a world where the lines between innocence and corruption, good and evil, blur and everyone's faith in humanity is tested.

So what would Al Gore choose if he had a book club? Gore named Stendhal's The Red and the Black, a 19th century classic chock full of adultery, betrayal, and moral vacuity, as his favorite book on a recent broadcast of Oprah. It's a bit shocking of a choice, given his wife and running mate's position on clean, wholesome literature. Listen and decide for yourself the merit of this presidential pick.

So disturbing...
Such a disturbing work. Will change your opinion of Tolstoy forever, especially since he believed some this stuff about sex and marriage.

Tolstoy is a genius, of course
Tolstoy's novella The Kreutzer Sonata is disturbing and will make you question the author's views of women. However, the writing is so impeccably written that you cannot help but find yourself immerse in the world of his main character. He is a suspicious, jealous, methodical, and crazed man who is confessing the murder of his wife. Because of its first person narrative and direct style, the book is an intimate look inside the mind of this man. It makes the story feel more claustrophobic and voyeuristic -- and emphasizes the nature of the crime. It is an uncomfortable read, and I believe that made it more powerful.
I know that the story mirrors a bit too closely some of Tolstoy's own views on marriage and women, but I did not find the book to be too autobiographical or reflective of the writer. I was able to read the book without thinking about Tolstoy, and although I am a proud feminist I was able to set aside my modern views and enjoy the book for what it is.

Passionate reading
In “The Kreutzer Sonata”, Tolstoy has given us a disturbing and believable portrait of a man whose bitterness, misogyny, and jealousy will eventually lead him to murder his wife. The authorities consider it a crime of passion, and because of that he faces no punishment. He believed his wife was having an affair, and to him and others, that excuses all. He lacks any self-awareness of the contempt and disgust on his part that played a role in making their marriage so unhappy.
The story is anything but “sex-positive.” On the contrary, Tolstoy writes about sex with an almost scatological ferocity. It isn't apparent from this particular edition of the story, but it seems that Tolstoy shared more of his protagonist’s attitude toward sex, and toward women, than was good for him. He apparently shared his protagonist’s belief that total abstinence from all sexual contact, for all people everywhere, was a necessary step in building a just society. He made this explicit in an appendix that is sometimes included with the story (though not here). He overlooked a much simpler solution that was ready to hand: don't be a jerk.
Simon Prebble narrates the story with grace but also with strong passion: I believed him as a character driven to murder by his own demons. He is sometimes downright frightening, especially as the story reaches its climax. But even with that, Prebble’s voice somehow conveys the sense that he's enjoying the task of reading it.

Masterful, brilliant, a must read!
If you are contemplating reading this book, do it. Not since reading the Iliad do I recall feeling such powerful emotions.
This short story builds and builds tension and extracts from the reader so much emotion, that I was left in awe.
The performance is top notch, Prebble almost sings it like a bard, and performs it like a Greek tragedy.
This is a powerful story that I soon won’t forget. Leo Tolstoy and Homer are equals, and I understand the weight that statement carries.

Powerful story, well told
Tolstoy paints an incredibly powerful picture of what damage jealousy can do. He gets inside the mind of a terrible misogynist. The narrator is terrific. He tells the story with dramatic energy. Highly recommended.
