Resurrection

Author: Leo Tolstoy

Tolstoy’s “Resurrection” is a powerful exploration of moral awakening and redemption. Through the eyes of Prince Nekhlyudov, we witness the stark realities of 19th-century Russian society. As he grapples with his past sins and seeks atonement, the novel delves deep into themes of justice, faith, and human nature. Tolstoy’s vivid prose and keen social observations make this a compelling read that still resonates today. I found myself deeply moved by Nekhlyudov’s journey, often pausing to reflect on my own moral choices.

Every heart has its own skeletons.
