#94 The Kreutzer Sonata 🎶
from Ra in Wonderland · host Ra Selin Turhan
In this episode of Ra in Wonderland, I dive deep into Leo Tolstoy’s controversial novella The Kreutzer Sonata. Sharing both historical context and my personal reflections, I explore the book’s radical views on marriage, sexuality, jealousy, and societal norms.Tolstoy’s raw and often uncomfortable honesty forces us to reflect on the human condition, the institution of marriage, and the expectations placed on both men and women. I speak candidly about my own reactions, the tension between loving an author and disagreeing with their ideas, and how this book challenged and stretched my soul.Whether you're a long-time Tolstoy fan or simply curious about one of his most debated works, this episode offers a thoughtful and emotional journey through literature, psychology, and personal growth.#RaInWonderland #PodcastEpisode #LeoTolstoy #TheKreutzerSonata #LiteraturePodcast #BookTalk #DeepReading #ClassicLiterature #BookReflections #TolstoyThoughts #MarriageInLiterature #PhilosophicalBooks #EmotionalIntelligence #JealousyInLiterature #RaReads #BookishPodcast #PodcastCommunity #LiteratureLovers #SelfReflectionThroughBooks
