Resurrection (Everyman's Library)

Prince Nekhludoff recognizes the prostitute Lyubasha, accused in a murder trial, as the peasant Katyusha Maslova, whom he had seduced ten years earlier, causing her ruin. Burdened by guilt, he works to save the woman and, with her, his own soul. A true "judicial affair" inspires Tolstoy's last great novel, which is above all a reflection on the inevitability of evil, on the universal injustice of suffering, to which man can only counter the prospect of individual redemption, such as that which Katyusha and Nekhludoff will find, each in their own way.
