Tolstoy's genius on the psychology of marriage




   Last night I finished reading a brilliantly CRAZY short novel on the psychology of marriage . It is titled " The Kreutzer Sonata " -  an obscure classic.  SCARY reading for individuals nervous about crude TRUTH .
      The CRAZY " hero " of the novel  is on a train in late 19th century Russia . In a maniacal mood he tries to explain to an interested male passenger just WHY he had to kill his beautiful wife who he really LOVED so much.  
       The Russian court did not find him guilty of murder - as his dignity and sanity were offended by his wife's romance with a morally depraved musician. 
                      One ends up wondering from the CRAZY MAN's  dark tale if human sexuality is simply opposed to pure affection !
