About This Novel
"Resurrection" is a masterpiece that Tolstoy worked on for more than ten years in his later years. It is also the pinnacle of his life's thoughts and art. The plot of this novel is based on a true story. In his innocent boyhood, the aristocratic young Nekhlyudov fell in love with his aunt's maid Maslova, seduced and abandoned her. After being hurt, the innocent and beautiful girl had no choice but to suffer humiliation and torture. Her beautiful soul was distorted and she became a prostitute. Eight years later, during a court hearing, fate reunited these two people who had forgotten their past by chance. Maslova was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to hard labor in Siberia. Nekhlyudov actively rescued her in a state of self-blame, regret and conflict, and worked hard to mediate between courts, prisons, churches, government agencies and even the palace and other upper-class societies in order to restore her innocence. During this process, Nekhlyudov's spiritual humanity constantly defeated his bestial humanity through constant self-reflection.

The inner activities are delicate, and the scenes are spread out and unfolded freely.
It truly presents the changes in the author's thoughts and restores the characteristics of human nature from small details, as if describing the readers themselves and seeing the shadow of me.
