About This Novel

"Resurrection" is one of the three major works of the famous Russian writer Tolstoy. The novel describes the aristocratic young man Nekhlyudov who seduces his aunt's adopted daughter Maslova, causing her to become a prostitute and experience the vicissitudes of life. A few years later, Nekhlyudov served as a juror in the court and saw Maslova, who was falsely accused of being a poisoner. He deeply regretted what she had done and was determined to try his best to reduce the crime. He was even willing to marry her to atone for his past mistakes. In order to rescue her, he went to court again and again, visiting judges, generals, and palace attendants. During the rescue process, he witnessed all the ugliness of Russian society with his own eyes, and gradually developed and strengthened his determination to betray the upper class society. Through the story of the spiritual resurrection of the two protagonists, the novel profoundly exposes the corruption of Russian officialdom and courts, and effectively criticizes the autocratic rule of the Tsar.
