Discover Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy — the final novel from one of literature's greatest masters, published in 1899 as the culmination of Tolstoy's later spiritual and moral philosophy. Though less widely read than his earlier masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina, this powerful novel offers a searing critique of Russian society, the justice system, and the church, delivered with the same moral intensity that defined Tolstoy's later years.

The novel follows Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov, a wealthy aristocrat who, while serving on a jury, is confronted with the shattering realization that the woman on trial before him, Katyusha Maslova, is someone he seduced and abandoned years earlier — setting her on a tragic path toward poverty and imprisonment. Overcome with guilt, Nekhlyudov resolves to seek forgiveness and redemption, following Katyusha into exile and undertaking a profound moral and spiritual awakening that leads him to question the corruption of the aristocracy, the legal system, and the church itself.

Why readers and scholars value this novel:

• Tolstoy's final novel, reflecting his mature moral and spiritual philosophy
• A powerful critique of Russian aristocracy, justice, and the church
