Book Review:
Resurrection, the final masterpiece by Leo Tolstoy, is a profound and searing indictment of the social injustices of 19th-century Russia. The novel follows Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov, a privileged aristocrat whose encounter with a former love, now a prisoner wrongly accused of murder, sparks a journey of deep moral and spiritual awakening. As Nekhlyudov attempts to atone for his past sins, Tolstoy exposes the hypocrisy of the judicial system, the corruption of the Church, and the vast inequalities between the rich and the poor. Unlike the epic scope of War and Peace or the intimate tragedy of Anna Karenina, Resurrection is a deeply personal story of redemption, driven by Tolstoy's own evolving moral philosophy. It is a compelling, emotional, and thought-provoking read that remains devastatingly relevant today. A must-read for lovers of classic literature.
