Summary:

Tolstoy''s last major work, the novel Resurrection, offers a probing critique of the social institutions and mores that resulted in so much injustice in the author''s era. The protagonist, the well-born Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov, repents for contributing to the wrongful conviction and exile of an innocent chambermaid. In his quest to set things right, he finds out that virtually everything he has believed about the world around him has turned out to be untrue.
