{"product_id":"2940158701894","title":"Leo Tolstoy Resurrection","description":"Perhaps the greatest of all his novels is Leo Tolstoy's final novel, Resurrection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eResurrection has become one of the most widely read and influential books ever written.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story is straightforward: in his youth, Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov seduced and impregnated a young servant, Maslova. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYears later, on jury duty, he encounters her again -- she's a prostitute on trial for murder. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNekhlyudov resolves to rescue her and atone for his sins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe follows Maslova down, down, down -- through the corrupt Russian courts into a filthy prison and finally on a long, brutal march to Siberia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA searing psychological tale of guilt, anger, and forgiveness, Resurrection is at the same time a panoramic description of social life in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, reflecting its author's outrage at the social injustices of the world in which he lived. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes it so dark is its extreme candor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon publication, the Russian authorities immediately censored it\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTolstoy does not flinch at the places that we, instinctively shy away from: a clerical error adds 15 years to Maslova's sentence; a man dies of thirst in a crowded town, just feet away from water; women are raped in captivity; men cannibalize other men; everywhere is poverty and debasement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in hundreds of editions and translated into virtually every modern language, it has not been out of print since 1899.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEO TOLSTOY (1828-1910), one of the giants of Russian literature, transformed the art of fiction. Author of numerous novels and short stories, including War And Peace, Anna Karenina, The Death of Ivan Ilyich, The Kingdom of God is Within You, and countless other literary masterpieces, he is considered to be a central figure in the development of the modern novel.","brand":"Griffin Classic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157131018480,"sku":"2940158701894","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158701894_p0.jpg?v=1764176169","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158701894","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
