Tolstoy's Resurrection: A Tale of Moral Transformation


Listen Later

This compilation of excerpts from Leo Tolstoy's "Resurrection" provides a comprehensive overview of the novel's intricate plot and thematic concerns. The text introduces Nekhludoff, a juryman grappling with a past transgression that links him to Maslova, a woman on trial for murder, and his evolving moral awakening is depicted through his interactions with various characters and institutions, including the judicial system, prisons, and his own social circle. The narrative also illuminates the Doukhobor sect, a group persecuted for their pacifist beliefs, to whom Tolstoy dedicated the book's proceeds, and explores the societal injustices and personal transformations central to the story.
