Anotace knihy

Leo Tolstoy's final significant novel is "Resurrection" (preceded in 1899). His major works are usually regarded as the 3rd of them, following "War as well as Peace" and "ANNA Karenina." The novel examines issues of injustice, morality as well as redemption and mirrors Tolstoy's progressing spiritual and philosophical perspectives towards the end of his life.

The plot centers on Prince Dmitri Ivanovaich Nekhlyudov, a nobleman who's seeking retribution for a sin committed many years ago. When Nekhlyudov was younger he had a short affair with'a maid 'named Katerina Maslova but she fell into prostitutery. Nekhlyudov seats a jury and identifies Maslova as the accused in a murder trial years later on. Nekhlyudov is absolutely horrified that he played a role in her calamity and is wrongly convicted. He promises to assist her and search for forgiveness, going on a profound personal transformational journey.

The novel deals with significant issues like the problems of the justice system, poverty among the poor and moral responsibility of people to correct wrongs. Tolstoy critiques the social norms and institutions he discovers perpetuate injustice, especially the moral decline of the aristocracies and the harsh realities of the penal / judicial system.

The time of great Social and political transformation in Russia had been the setting of "Resurrection," as per Social and historical Context. In the late 19th century witnessed an increase in dissatisfaction with autokratic rule, prompting even more demands for reform. Tolstoy himself grew to be far more critical of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the government, advocating peaceful opposition along with a reversion to the basic teachings of Christ.

The novel also mirrors Tolstoy's keen interest in social justice that increased following his religious awakening in the 1870s. He took an active part in helping the very poor and challenged the moral basis of contemporary society, concentrating on law and coercion rather morality and empathy.
