Two irresistibly intimate masterworks by one of Russia’s greatest
writers Published here in a marvelous new translation, Resurrection
tells the story of a Russian nobleman who comes face to face with the
sins of his past. When Prince Nekhlyudov serves on a jury at the
trial of a prostitute arrested for murder, he is horrified to
discover that the accused is a woman he had once seduced and
abandoned. His guilt at the central role he played in her ruin soon
leads him on a quest for forgiveness as he follows her into the
prisons of Siberia. Conceived on an epic scale, this novel is both a
trenchant denunciation of government, aristocracy, the judicial
system, and the Church as well as a highly personal statement of
Tolstoy’s belief in human redemption and spiritual development.
