About This Book

Published in 1899, Resurrection established Leo Tolstoy as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Prince Nekhlyudov encounters a woman he seduced and abandoned years earlier, now on trial for murder. Stricken with guilt, he follows her to Siberia. Tolstoy's final novel is his most politically radical—a direct attack on the Russian state, church, and social order. Themes of guilt, redemption, Russia run through the work. The book has received recognition from Times Literary Supplement 1899.
