About This Book
<p><i>Resurrection</i>, the last full-length novel written by <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/leo-tolstoy">Leo Tolstoy</a>, was published in 1899 after ten years in the making. A humanitarian cause—the pacifist Doukhobor sect, persecuted by the Russian government, needed funds to emigrate to Canada—prompted Tolstoy to finish the novel and dedicate its ensuing revenues to alleviate their plight.
