Product Description
Tolstoy's novel of spiritual regeneration recounts the sins of a young Russian nobleman and his attempts in later life to redress those transgressions. A panoramic view of Russian social life at the end of the 19th century, Resurrection pointedly articulates the author's contempt for the social injustices of the world in which he lived.

 Captivating September 24, 2009
Rodney Jay Buchanan (Ohio)
One of the greatest stories I have ever read. Had to force myself to put it down. You can't wait to get to the next chapter.
 Deep, heavy, and moralistic January 5, 2006

5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Maybe the first modern novel. In `Resurrection' Tolstoy delves down deep into the disturbed psyche of his protagonist as he struggles with his decisions, his culture, and his beliefs. Like all of Tolstoy's works the book is as deep and the prose is heavy. There are times that the book reads more like a tract than a novel and there is a moral to every story. The book is interesting, too, in that I've wondered how much personal history Tolstoy wrote into it. Readers of Troyat's biography will see many familiar scenes played out here from Tolstoy's early days as a rich dandy to his later `resurrection' as a spiritual nomad.
Not quite up to par with `Anna' or `War and Peace' but a good book and a must for fans of the Great One.
