Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this one back in 2002, I think. As I recall, this was one of my favorite of Tolstoy’s books. Being his last published fictional work (again, as I recall), which was published so that all the sales proceeds would go to support the “Spirit Fighters,” a group of Christians that were then persecuted under the Tzar, the books is highly critical of Russian society and especially the Russian Orthodox Church. I recall loving it.
