A review by jmoran4
Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy

5.0

Tolstoy's most important work of fiction. Simultaneously his most challenging and most rewarding work, Resurrection is a kind of anti-Crime and Punishment, a work that seriously wrestles with the ethical and material concerns its narrative presents. How does one seriously enact the imitation of Christ in an economic framework where violence and exploitation are concomitant to the normal functioning of society? A true masterpiece.
