Publisher's Synopsis

""Resurrection"" is a novel written by the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. It tells the story of a wealthy nobleman named Prince Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov who becomes disillusioned with his privileged life after serving on a jury that convicts a young woman, Maslova, of a crime. Nekhlyudov realizes that Maslova is a woman he had seduced and abandoned years earlier, leading to her current situation. Filled with guilt and remorse, Nekhlyudov embarks on a quest for redemption, seeking to right the wrongs he has committed in his past. Along the way, he becomes involved in the lives of the oppressed and downtrodden, including Maslova herself. The novel explores themes of morality, justice, and the power of love and forgiveness to overcome even the most heinous of sins.
