    How does one atone for the sins of the past? 
    In Resurrection, Leo Tolstoy presents a harrowing yet deeply moving tale of moral reckoning and spiritual awakening. Prince Dmitri Ivanovich, a wealthy aristocrat, is confronted with the consequences of his youthful indiscretions when he discovers that Katerina Maslova—a woman he once seduced and abandoned—has been unjustly sentenced to Siberian exile. Driven by guilt and a newfound sense of justice, he dedicates himself to her cause, only to find himself entangled in a corrupt legal system and an indifferent society. 
    As Dmitri struggles to right his wrongs, his journey exposes the hypocrisy of the elite, the cruelty of the prison system, and the immense power of personal transformation. Tolstoy masterfully weaves a narrative that is both a compelling human drama and a fierce indictment of social inequality.
