About “The Kreutzer sonata and other stories”
The collection includes "What For?" which portrays a Polish family enduring hardship following the 1830 to 1831 insurrection, reflecting Tolstoy's critique of Russian autocracy. "Divine and Human" is set around 1881, depicting a revolutionary's conversion to a Tolstoyan view of life after reading the Gospels in prison, while an old schismatic's faith is undermined by a prison encounter. "Berries" contrasts the idle talk of liberals with the earnest labor of peasant children, condemning the frivolity of the 1905 revolution.
