Description
(From back): "The Complete Version of Tolstoy's Last Great Novel
"Resurrection is a shattering novel in which Tolstoy violently attacked the very core of Christian society. The novel's heroine is a morally empty, but hardened prostitute who is punished for a crime she did not commit. She and the wealthy Prince, who first sentenced her, find spiritual regeneration amid the brutal, sadistic surroundings of a Siberian exile.
"The society which mercilessly condemned these people is bitterly excoriated by Tolstoy for its senseless cruelty and hypocrisy. Resurrection contains some the finest scenes in all of Tolstoy's monumental works and is at the very heart of his humane philosophy of man's spiritual resurrection.
"This edition is based upon the authorized translation by Louise Maude and has been restored from the authoritative Jubilee Edition of Lev Tolstoy's complete works.
"With an Introduction by Michael Scammell."
