Excerpt from Master and Man: The Kreutzer Sonata Dramas In the comedy which follows and ends the volume Count Tolsto'i' holds up to ridicule the empirical weak nesses of medicine and such fads as hypnotism, spiritual ism, and the like. As usual he contrasts the absurdities of a narrow and superficial culture with the sterling sense and unaffected reason of the man of the people living near to nature, and not worried over microbes and bacilli. The humor of the play is legitimate and characteristic; one can easily believe that it was effective when presented on the stage.
