(4.7 stars; 42 reviews)

Resurrection is the last of Tolstoy's major fiction works published in his lifetime. Tolstoy intended the novel as an exposition of injustice of man-made laws and the hypocrisy of institutionalized church. It was first published serially in the magazine Niva as an effort to raise funds for the resettlement of the Dukhobors. The story concerns a nobleman named Nekhlyudov, who seeks redemption for a sin committed years earlier. His brief affair with a maid resulted in her being fired and ending up in prostitution. The book treats his attempts to help her out of her current misery, but also focuses on his personal mental and moral struggle.(Summary from Wikipedia) (7 hr 35 min)

Lost nothing of it's relevance


(5 stars)

In a time where protecting society is still all too often equated with being 'tough on crime' and locking people away instead of addressing the social causes of crime and treating the accused with dignity, Tolstoy's condemnation of the criminal justice system has lost nothing of it's relevance. The novel traces out how a system in which each person involved focuses on doing their job, disregarding any greater responsibility can lead to monstrous injustice.

There are adds in the recording


(3 stars)

They had adds periodicly throughout this book. I've never had adds in a LibriVox recording before so that was disappointing. The reading was decent. I'm thankful for the volunteers who read the books.

wonderful ! Thank you so much for sharing!
