Description
Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy is a powerful exploration of guilt, anger, and forgiveness. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Russia, this novel tells the story of a nobleman's attempt to make amends for past wrongs. Through a nuanced portrayal of social life in Russia at the time, Tolstoy critiques the injustices of his world, while also offering a vision of redemption through loving forgiveness. This edition features an updated translation with explanatory notes and a substantial introduction based on recent scholarship, providing valuable context for readers. A thought-provoking and deeply psychological tale, Resurrection is a significant work in Tolstoy's oeuvre, reflecting the author's commitment to social justice and his search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
