Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy follows Prince Dmitri Ivanovich, a nobleman who seeks redemption after discovering that Katerina Maslova, a woman he seduced and abandoned years earlier, is now a prisoner wrongfully accused of murder. Overwhelmed with guilt, Dmitri dedicates himself to helping her, following her through the injustices of the Russian legal and penal systems. Maslova, initially resentful, gradually experiences her own spiritual awakening. While she ultimately rejects Dmitri’s marriage proposal, Dmitri finds purpose in his commitment to justice and moral transformation. The novel critiques societal hypocrisy and emphasizes themes of redemption and spiritual renewal.
