Resurrection is Leo Tolstoy’s last and most impassioned novel-a sweeping exploration of personal guilt, societal cruelty, and the possibility of spiritual renewal.
The story centers on Prince Dmitri Ivanovich, a nobleman whose comfortable life is shattered when he is called to serve on a jury and discovers that the defendant is Katusha, the young woman he once seduced and abandoned. Wracked with remorse, he resolves to save her from a cruel fate, only to confront the crushing machinery of injustice that entraps them both.
In this modern translation, Tolstoy’s prose is brought to life with clarity and urgency, highlighting the novel’s timeless themes: the gap between the rich and the poor, the hypocrisy of religious and legal institutions, and the redemptive power of truth, sacrifice, and love.
