A humanitarian cause-the pacifist Doukhobor sect, persecuted by the Russian government, needed funds to emigrate to Canada-prompted Tolstoy to finish the novel and dedicate its ensuing revenues to alleviate their plight. Ultimately, Tolstoy's actions were credited with helping hundreds of Doukhobors emigrate to Canada.The novel centers on the relationship between Nekhl�doff, a Russian landlord, and M�slova, a prostitute whose life took a turn for the worse after Nekhl�doff wronged her ten years prior to the novel's events. After Nekhl�doff happens to sit in the jury for a trial in which M�slova is accused of poisoning a merchant, Nekhl�doff begins to understand the harm he has inflicted upon M�slova-and the harm that the Russian state and society inflicts upon the poor and marginalized-as he embarks on a quest to alleviate M�slova's suffering.Nekhl�doff's process of spiritual awakening in Resurrection serves as a framing for many of the novel's religious and political themes, such as the hypocrisy of \u003cstrong\u003eState Christianity\u003c\/strong\u003e and the injustice of the penal system, which were also the subject of Tolstoy's nonfiction treatise on Christian anarchism, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Kingdom\u003c\/strong\u003e of \u003cstrong\u003eGod Is Within\u003c\/strong\u003e You. The novel also explores the \"single tax\" economic theory propounded by the American economist \u003cstrong\u003eHenry George\u003c\/strong\u003e, which drives a major subplot in the novel concerning the management of Nekhl�doff's estates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Les Prairies Numeriques","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47775964266647,"sku":"9791043136184","price":3009.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9791043136184.webp?v=1777993472","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/resurrection-9791043136184","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
