What surprised the world was Tolstoy's story of a guilt-ridden nobleman  haunted by the sins of his past and seeking a way to atone for them. The aristocratic Prince Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov serves on a jury of a murder trial  only to discover that the accused prostitute is Maslova  a maid he seduced and abandoned years before. Though he comes to realize that Maslova was framed  she is sent to Siberia  and in his attempts to help her  he discovers a new world of squalid prisons  oppression  and misery. Dmitri finally sees a comprehensive vista of Russian life  much more a nightmare than the pleasant dream he has known  which begins his convoluted struggle with responsibility and morals. In this powerful denunciation  Tolstoy criticizes the complacency of the government and judicial system  as well as the hypocrisy of religion and the upper classes. All the while  he reveals the greatest depths of a guilty man  and the lengths he can and does take for redemption. This edition follows the translation of Louise Maude and includes a biographical afterword.","brand":"Lushena Books","offers":[{"title":"PAPERBACK","offer_id":52798790336792,"sku":"9798890968098","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"HARDCOVER","offer_id":52798790369560,"sku":"9798890968197","price":50.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8203\/8296\/files\/9798890968098.jpg?v=1790924514","url":"https:\/\/lushenabooksinc.com\/products\/resurrection-vol-1-tolstoy","provider":"Lushena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
