Summary: "Resurrection" by Leo Tolstoy is a profound novel written in the late 19th century, which delves into themes of moral redemption, guilt, and social justice. The story primarily follows Prince Dmitri Ivanovitch Nekhludoff, who faces the consequences of his past when he recognizes a former lover, Katusha Maslova, now a prisoner accused of murder, in a courtroom. The narrative explores their intertwined fates against a backdrop of societal indifference and cruelty. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Katusha Maslova, who is imprisoned and has a bleak outlook on her future. The opening chapters depict her life in prison and present a vivid description of the environment, highlighting the stark contrast between the beautiful spring outside and the grim reality of her confinement. As she is escorted to court, Maslova's past is gradually unveiled, revealing her troubling upbringing and the series of unfortunate events that led her to a life of sin, culminating in the criminal charges against her. Simultaneously, Nekhludoff’s internal struggle becomes evident as he reflects on his earlier actions towards Katusha, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of redemption and the moral implications of one's choices.
