Resurrection

Leo Tolstoy

Sinossi

Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy is a powerful and morally charged novel that confronts injustice, spiritual awakening, and the possibility of redemption. Written in the later years of Tolstoy's life, this profound work reflects his deep concern with social reform, ethical responsibility, and the transformative power of conscience.

The story follows Prince Dmitri Ivanovich Nekhlyudov, a wealthy nobleman summoned to serve on a jury. To his shock and shame, he recognizes the defendant—a young woman named Katerina Maslova—as someone he once seduced and abandoned years earlier. Now accused of a crime she did not commit, Maslova's tragic circumstances force Nekhlyudov to confront the consequences of his past actions. Overwhelmed by guilt, he embarks on a journey to atone for the harm he has caused and to seek justice on her behalf.

As Nekhlyudov follows Maslova through the harsh realities of the legal and penal systems, he witnesses firsthand the corruption, inequality, and cruelty embedded within society's institutions. Tolstoy offers a sweeping critique of the courts, the prison system, the church, and the privileges of the aristocracy. Yet beyond its social commentary, the novel is a deeply personal story of moral reckoning and spiritual rebirth.

Nekhlyudov's transformation unfolds gradually as he questions his former lifestyle and the values of the world he once accepted without hesitation. His struggle is not only external but internal—a battle between pride and humility, comfort and sacrifice. Through this process, Tolstoy explores themes of repentance, forgiveness, and the search for authentic faith.

Maslova, resilient despite her suffering, stands as both a victim of circumstance and a symbol of human endurance. Her presence challenges Nekhlyudov's assumptions and becomes central to his awakening. Together, their intertwined fates illuminate the complex relationship between individual responsibility and systemic injustice.

Resurrection is both a compelling narrative and a passionate moral statement. With emotional intensity and philosophical depth, Tolstoy presents a vision of renewal grounded in compassion and truth. This final major novel remains a stirring exploration of conscience, redemption, and the enduring hope that transformation is possible—even in a flawed and unequal world.

On My Last Breath

Don Johns

Have you ever wondered do we cross paths in life for a reason, even if it's only for a brief moment in time? I've always believed in that and when I wrote this script I tried to capture that. First a film, and now for the first time an audiobook! Lt. Delani has been there and back and private Fisher is young and green, but yet he is fearless in rattling Delani. Although this is a short film, it has epic qualities. Use for an icebreaker for therapy sessions, give it to someone who you know that is afraid of opening up. Listen to the audiobook or watch the movie.

Trine Rising - The Kinderra...

C.K. Donnelly

Mirana Pinal, just sixteen summers old, knows she's different. In her homeland of Kinderra, only a small minority of people are born with one of three magical powers—Seeing, Defending, or Healing. Mirana, however, was born with all three, making her a rare Trine, one whose powers can bring peace to the war-ravaged land—or destroy it.
Only two other known Trines exist in the current age—Tetric Garis, a hero to Mirana's people; and the Dark Trine, the ruthless leader of the enemy Ken'nar regime, who is determined to conquer Kinderra and subjugate its people.
Trines must train to use their powers, but Mirana's not interested in being a warrior-hero. For her, destroying her homeland with her Aspects is more than just a possibility. She has terrifying visions that if she wields her powers, she will be the one to bring ruin to Kinderra. Desperate to keep her dark fate from unfolding, she tells no one about her destructive destiny but her beloved, Teague Beltran, a brilliant young herbsman's apprentice who yearns for powers of his own. She keeps her powers a secret, but fate has other plans.
When Mirana receives alarming premonitions of a Ken'nar attack on Kinderra, she is forced to reveal to her people that she is a Trine to warn them of the impending assault. What she doesn't tell them is that in the same visions, she watches herself unleash unspeakable powers of devastation, crystallized in the image of a watchtower exploding with light. Tetric Garis takes her under his wing and begins instructing her on how to use her powers, but Mirana fears she will cause more peril than forestall it.
As the battle draws near, Mirana must search within to discover the true nature of her powers and summon the courage to determine her fate.
