Resurrection

by Leo Tolstoy, Louise Maude (Translator)

Overview

Prince Nekhludoff recognizes in a prostitute accused of murder the peasant woman Katusha Maslova, whom he had seduced ten years earlier, causing her ruin. Oppressed by guilt, he works to save the woman and, with her, his own soul. Resurrection, Tolstoy's last great novel, is inspired by an actual judicial affair, which is above all a reflection on the inevitability of evil, on the universal injustice of suffering, to which man can oppose only the prospect of individual redemption. Such as the one Katusha and Nekhludoff will find, each in his own way.
