Tolstoy on the Couch: Misogyny, Masochism and the Absent Mother 1st ed. 1998 edition
Daniel Rancour-Laferriere
In his 1889 novella The Kreutzer Sonata Lev Tolstoy declared war on human sexuality. Psychoanalysis of Tolstoy's diaries and other private materials reveals that Tolstoy's anti-sex position was grounded in a sadistic attitude towards women (including his wife Sonia) and a punishing, masochistic attitude towards himself.
