Part Six of Tolstoy's last novel.
"Resurrection" is one of Leo Tolstoy's last major novels, first published in 1899. It tackles themes of injustice, morality, forgiveness, and the possibility of redemption. Here are five key points of Tolstoy's "Resurrection":
Injustice and the Legal System: The novel begins with Prince Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov serving on a jury trial where he recognizes the defendant, Katusha Maslova, as a woman he once seduced and abandoned. Maslova has been wrongfully accused of murder and theft. Nekhlyudov's realization of his role in her downfall and the injustices of the Russian legal system drives the narrative.
Moral and Spiritual Awakening: Shocked by his past actions and the corruption he witnesses in the judicial system, Nekhlyudov undergoes a profound moral and spiritual awakening. He commits to helping Maslova and rectifying the wrongs he has done, leading him on a journey of self-discovery and redemption.
Critique of Society: Tolstoy uses the story to critique the moral decay of Russian high society, the church, and the government. He explores themes of social inequality, the moral hypocrisy of the ruling classes, and the harsh realities of prison life.
Quest for Redemption: Nekhlyudov's quest to save Maslova from her unjust sentence and his own soul from the guilt of his past actions becomes a pilgrimage. It reflects Tolstoy's belief in the possibility of personal transformation through adherence to Christian principles of forgiveness, love, and nonviolence.
Philosophical and Religious Exploration: "Resurrection" is as much a philosophical and religious meditation as it is a novel. It reflects Tolstoy's own spiritual crisis and his eventual rejection of the Russian Orthodox Church. The novel explores the idea that true Christianity is found in living a life of simplicity, service to others, and adherence to the teachings of Jesus, particularly the Sermon on the Mount.
"Resurrection" is often seen as a culmination of Tolstoy's critiques of society and his exploration of religious and ethical questions that concerned him throughout his life. It’s a compelling narrative that combines a love story, a legal drama, and a profound moral inquiry.
