Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Resurrection It would be a task of literary supererogation to point out in detail the aims that Tolstoi pursued in writing the last of his great trilogy, "Resurrection." The "Great Writer of the Russian Land," as Tourguénef was the first to call him, had devoted his whole life to the betterment, the uplift, of his fellow-men. The two preceding prose epopees, "War and Peace" and "Anna Kare´nina," may be likened to huge canvases on which the portraits of Russian men and women stand out in amazing clearness. "One may walk all around them," we may say, using the definition of a little girl´s preference for sculpture. In "Resurrection," as in all his writings, Tolstoï displayed his absorbing interest in humanity. Endowed with a microscopic power of observation, he described personal and mental characteristics with so fine a touch that every man and woman, principal or subordinate, lives and moves before our eyes. We hear them speak, rejoice in their joys; we grieve for their sorrows, we sympathize with their hopes and fears, we venture to peer into the depth of their souls. The contention of the novelist´s opponents is that in "Resurrection" Tolstoi aimed at undermining popular confidence in the system of trial by jury, and that by the unveiling of irremediable social evils he played into the hands of the reactionists.
