  1. With illustrations from the Universal picture starring John Boles and Lupe Velez. Russian author, considered one of the greatest of all novelists. Tolstoy’s major works include War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The plot of Resurrection is simple enough, and is based on a story Tolstoy read in a newspaper. Prince Nekhlyudov is rich and idle. Called to serve on a jury, he recognizes the accused woman as a girl he seduced some years earlier. The seduction ruined her; rejected by those who had brought her up, she was reduced to prostitution. Though innocent of the murder she is accused of, Maslova is nevertheless found guilty through a legal error (the jury omits to add the formula that she was innocent of the intention to kill as well as the actual act). Overcome with remorse, seeing himself as the cause of Maslova’s degradation, Nekhlyudov vows to reform his life. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
