Resurrection
About This Novel
"Resurrection" is Leo Tolstoy's last novel. It is a summary of the writer's life exploration and thoughts. It is known as the peak of the development of Russian critical realism. The novel uses the suffering of Maslova, a maid in a noble family, and the spiritual awakening process of Nekhludoff, a young nobleman who once hurt her. In the process of his running around to rescue Maslova, the novel extensively and deeply criticizes the corruption and gangsterism of courts, prisons, and bureaucracies. Darkly, it exposed the extravagant and licentious life of the feudal ruling class and the cruel, stupid and inhumane nature of the reactionary officials. It tore off the hypocrisy of the government-run church, reflected the bankruptcy of the countryside and the extreme poverty of the farmers, and sketched a social picture of serfdom Russia that was on the verge of collapse.
