This article searches to investigate similarities and differences between the formal structure of the story “Concerning The Kreutzer Sonata”, of Nikolai Leskov, and the novella The Kreutzer Sonata, of Leo Tolstoy. Based in Walter Benjamin’s analysis of the specificities of Leskov’s stories, in his essay “The storyteller”, our proposal is to examine the tensions between long and short forms in the Modernity, and how it is absorbed in the work of these two Russian writers in the end of Nineteenth Century.
