Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy This powerful novel, Tolstoy's third major masterpiece, after War and Peace and Anna Karenina, begins with a courtroom drama (the finest in Russian literature) all the more stunning for being based on a real-life event. Dmitri Nekhlyudov, called to jury service, is astonished to see in the dock, charged with murder, a young woman whom he once seduced, propelling her into prostitution. She is found guilty on a technicality, and he determines to overturn the verdict. This pitches him into a hellish labyrinth of Russian courts, prisons and bureaucracy, in which the author loses no opportunity for satire and bitter criticism of a state system (not confined to that country) of cruelty and injustice. This is Dickens for grown-ups, involving a hundred characters, Crime and Punishment brought forward half a century. With unforgettable set-pieces of sexual passion, conflict and social injustice, Resurrection proceeds from brothel to court-room, stinking cells to offices of state, luxury apartments to filthy life in Siberia. The ultimate crisis of moral responsibility embroils not only the famous author and his hero, but also you and me. Can we help resolve the eternal issues of law and imprisonment?

I’m reading this because it was a recommendation by a friend that Richard Nixon read it. He did and had a high regard for the novel. Tolstoy remained one of Nixon’s most popular authors. I can see why, reading Resurection I shall go on to read other novels and stories by Tolstoy.

Not as well known as War & Peace or Anna K, but a true gem. You can never go wrong with Tolstoy. He causes you to reflect on moral issues. The character development is so vivid, I feel that the main characters are real people...and I know them!

If you want to read Tolstoy and you are put off by the length of War and Peace or Anna Karenina, consider Resurrection. All of the things that make Tolstoy a great storyteller are present in this shorter, but no less intense novel.

Resurrection is written by Tolstoy near the end of his writing career. The characters are interesting but the arc of their development was slow and the story was not engrossing. However, this period in history is fascinating and Tolstoy’s style of writing is enjoyable. I would recommend buying used or checking out from local library.

3.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the Maud translation - it was made from the censored Russian text
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2017
Verified Purchase
This Wordsworth classics edition is the Maud translation which reads well, but which I don't recommend because it was created from the original published CENSORED manuscript. The Russian censors eliminated or changed over 470 passages in Resurrection, particularly those which were sexually suggestive, critical of the Russian Orthodox Church or critical of the Russian prison system.

I had the Maud translation, and purchased both the more recent Briggs and Edmonds translations in order to compare select passages. Reading Maud, I became confused at the end of chapter 17 about what happened in a very critical scene between Nikh- and Maslova. Switching to the Edmonds and then the Briggs translation, it all became clear........Maud (probably because of her access only to the censored published edition) had nuked a key passage in the seduction scene. When I compared a number of other passages in Maud that didn't make sense to me, I discovered that the different or more complete passages in Edmonds and Briggs DID make sense, and sometimes a difference in meaning.

I am only 1/4 of the way through the book at the moment, so will not comment on it except to say that it IS excellent Tolstoy. But I think it's important to point out this translation issue, and guide readers to either the Edmonds and Briggs translations, both available on Amazon and quite inexpensively from Marketplace sellers. Be wary however because Amazon mixes up the reviews, and you can't tell from most of the reviews which book is which translation. Search by the book title, author AND translator. Note also that there are editions with Maud as translator but an with an introduction by Briggs and editions with Briggs the translator.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Count 1 The Prof 0
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2017
Verified Purchase
The bulk of 'Resurrection' is outstanding, if still not up to T's magnum opus's. Though what I do like is that in this piece of fiction T states, without equivocation his creed, in all his righteous indignation and incredulity, mankind's inhumanity to man as exhibited in the dying days of Tsarist Capitalism, at the iniquities of private property ownership, and the impossibility of an Equitable Criminal Justice System in a world of gross inequality of wealth distribution. It should be required reading in all schools. But even on purely dramatic terms Parts I and II are a gripping read, excepting that having introduced us to a veritable host of interesting characters we never or hardly see any of them again. So that it all rather fizzles out in Part 3 in a rather damp appeal that we must all be better Christians which immediately counts me out, Count! But still worth a read despite the unsatisfactory ending. Prof Briggs, who contributes an introduction, (more on him anon!) suggest a plausible reason for the extreme 'inequality' of the dramatic content, Part III is a sprinter's nose dive for the line almost indecent in it's haste for Le Fin, namely the fact that the 'motivation' for writing was very likely pecuniary embarrassment due to specific private life committments, he needed dosh, and lots of it, quick. Published in 1899 it was certainly a long time coming after A.K. (1876!). Finally I can't resist a comment or two on the introduction. The afor mentioned Prof Anthony D.P. Briggs has the gall to rubbish the Great Man's extreme pessimism at the Human Condition and the future of humanity etc etc I can only say that perhaps the Prof wouldn't be quite so 'bullish' if he were cowering under the tonnes of western origin ordinance that Middle Eastern, Levantine, and Northern and West African Islamic Rural Peasantry have had to endure over the years prior to and since publication of this edition, 2014. I also remind him that at time of publication he held a chair at an institution, Bristol University, that was financed out of the profits of the slave trade, and when slavery was abolished, out of the continuing mercantile trade with the slave plantation economies! Though I am nit-picking here since the whole red-brick university system was effectively finance out of the exploitation of the quaint jolly old British Empire, but still glass-universities and stones spring to mind. So I'm with the Count on this one, Prof! Perhaps the erstwhile Prof should be a little more careful when chucking around grandiloquent exhortations as to what a beautiful First World 'we all gratefully' live in today?! And thank the gods that our 'stork' didn't drop us in Syria! Though, I have added Rousseau and Schopenhauer to my reading list based on the Prof's strong 'recommendation'.
