About This Novel
"Resurrection" is one of Leo Tolstoy's most famous masterpieces. The work takes "resurrection" as its theme and describes the process of Nekhludoff and Maslova's spiritual and moral resurrection. Maslova was originally the illegitimate daughter of a serf. When she was sixteen years old, she was innocent and kind-hearted and sincerely fell in love with Nekhludoff, but was abandoned by this noble young master. Maslova, who was pregnant, was kicked out of her home and, after several twists and turns, was forced to become a prostitute. But fate did not favor this poor girl. Misfortunes followed one after another. She was accused of murder and was tried. As a juror, Nekhludoff recognized Maslova in the court, and his conscience was deeply condemned. He tried every means to rescue Maslova and asked to marry her to atone for his sins. Later, the appeal failed, and Nekhludoff accompanied Maslova in exile in Siberia. His behavior finally moved Maslova, but in order not to affect Nekhludoff's reputation and status, Maslova rejected his proposal and married a revolutionary.
