About This Novel
"Resurrection" is the most important work created after Tolstoy's change in world view. It is the crystallization of his ideological and artistic exploration in his later years. The novel tells the story of the aristocratic young man Nekhlyudov who seduced the serf girl Katyusha Maslova and then abandoned her. Ten years later, Maslova, who became a prostitute, was falsely accused of murder and thrown into prison. In the court, Nekhlyudov, as a juror, discovered that the criminal on trial was Maslova, so his conscience found out and he was determined to atone for his crime and appeal for her. After his appeal failed, he was exiled to Siberia with Maslova and decided to marry her. Maslova rejected him, but was deeply moved by his behavior. Finally, their spirits moved towards "resurrection". In this novel, Tolstoy regards human spiritual resurrection as the starting point of fundamental social transformation. This idea is concentratedly expressed through the description of the spiritual resurrection of the hero and heroine.

Although hundreds of thousands of people are accommodated in a small place, and they try their best to make the place they live in a mess, although they bury stones in the soil so that flowers, plants and trees cannot grow, although the grass that grows is removed, although the smell of coal and oil is everywhere, the trees are cut down, and all the birds and animals are driven away, spring is still spring in this city.
Hey, I'm just here for the mission
Pirated book, the real book was written by Leo Tolstoy
Exposing the darkness of reality, he is worthy of being the greatest Russian writer in the 19th century!
Such a good book only has these few comments😔
A masterpiece worth owning
The translation is not very good. Didn't understand
One of the leading figures in world literature
One of the world's leading literary figures
Okay, but I hate English letters.
Is this fake? Are Leo Tolstoy and Tolstoy the same person?
