Resurrection

This book is a novel written by Tolstoy based on a real case, which took ten years and six revisions. It is a summary of the writer's life exploration and thoughts, and is known as the peak of the development of Russian critical realism. Through Maslova's suffering and Nekhludoff's appeal process, the novel extensively and profoundly criticizes the corruption and darkness of courts, prisons, and bureaucracies. It exposes the extravagant and luxurious life of the feudal ruling class and the cruelty, stupidity and inhumanity of reactionary officials. It tears off the hypocrisy of the official church, reflects the bankruptcy of the countryside and the extreme poverty of the farmers, and outlines a social picture of a serfdom Russia that is on the verge of collapse.
