Summary

Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy depicts the journey of Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov, who seeks redemption after recognising his part in the downfall of a young woman, Katerina Maslova, now sentenced to hard labour. As he follows her through the Russian legal system, Nekhlyudov confronts the morality of his actions and the broader injustices of society. This exploration of personal and social redemption offers a profound critique of the class structures and legal institutions of Tolstoy's Russia.

You might enjoy this book if you're drawn to stories that explore deep moral questions and the complexities of redemption.

Description

A new translation by Tony Briggs of Tolstoy's last major novel.

Resurrection (1899) tells the story of a nobleman's attempt to redeem the suffering his youthful philandering inflicted on a peasant girl who ends up a prisoner in Siberia. Tolstoy's vision of redemption achieved through loving forgiveness, and his condemnation of violence, dominate the novel.

An intimate, psychological tale of guilt, anger, and forgiveness, Resurrection is at the same time a panoramic description of social life in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, reflecting its author's outrage at the social injustices of the world in which he lived.

About the Author

Count Leo Tolstoy was born on September 9, 1828, in Yasnaya Polyana, Russia. In 1862, Tolstoy married Sophie Behrs, a marriage that was to become, for him, bitterly unhappy. His diary, started in 1847, was used for self-study and self-criticism; it served as the source from which he drew much of the material that appeared not only in his great novels War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877), but also in his shorter works. Seeking religious justification for his life, Tolstoy evolved a new Christianity based upon his own interpretation of the Gospels. He died at the age of eighty-two on November 20, 1910. Anthony Briggs has written, translated or edited many books and articles on Russian and English literature. A leading authority on Alexander Pushkin, he has also edited five volumes of English poetry. His recent translation of War and Peace has been widely acclaimed.
