Other editions of book Resurrection,: A novel,

Book 1. Resurrection is the last of Tolstoy's major fiction works published in his lifetime. Tolstoy intended the novel as an exposition of injustice of man-made laws and the hypocrisy of institutionalized church. It was first published serially in the magazine Niva as an effort to raise funds for the resettlement of the Dukhobors. The story concerns a nobleman named Nekhlyudov, who seeks redemption for a sin committed years earlier. His brief affair with a maid resulted in her being fired and ending up in prostitution. The book treats his attempts to help her out of her current misery, but also focuses on his personal mental and moral struggle.First Page:RESURRECTIONBY LEO TOLSTOYTranslated byMRS. LOUISE MAUDE[Transcriber's Note: The following paragraph is on a page of its own, in cursive writing, apparently in Tolstoy's own hand.]This English version of "Resurrection" is pub lished by Dodd, Mead and Company by my authority. Leo TolstoyTRANSLATOR'S PREFACEOpinions about Tolstoy and his work differ, but on one point there surely might be unanimity. A writer of world wide reputation should be at least allowed to know how to spell his own name. Why should any one insist on spelling it "Tolstoi" (with one, two or three dots over the "i"), when he himself writes it "Tolstoy"? The only reason I have ever heard suggested is, that in England and America such outlandish views are attributed to him, that an outlandish spelling is desirable to match those views.
