The Resurrection

Leo Tolstoy

First published in 1899 and translated into English the same year, The Resurrection follows Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov, a Russian nobleman, as he seeks to atone for his youthful indiscretions with Katerina Maslova, a peasant woman wrongfully convicted of murder. Tolstoy critiques the corruption of the legal and penal systems while delving deeply into themes of spiritual awakening and the human capacity for transformation. This final major novel by Tolstoy reflects his deepening commitment to Christian ethics and nonviolence, offering readers a moving narrative of justice, forgiveness, and the enduring search for truth.
