Resurrection, the last full-length novel written by Leo Tolstoy, 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 Canadäprompted Tolstoy to finish the novel and dedicate its ensuing revenues to alleviate their plight. Ultimately, Tolstoy¿s actions were credited with helping hundreds of Doukhobors emigrate to Canada.The novel centers on the relationship between Nekhlúdoff, a Russian landlord, and Máslova, a prostitute whose life took a turn for the worse after Nekhlúdoff wronged her ten years prior to the novel¿s events. After Nekhlúdoff happens to sit in the jury for a trial in which Máslova is accused of poisoning a merchant, Nekhlúdoff begins to understand the harm he has inflicted upon Másloväand the harm that the Russian state and society inflicts upon the poor and marginalized¿as he embarks on a quest to alleviate Másloväs suffering.Nekhlúdoff¿s process of spiritual awakening in Resurrection serves as a framing for many of the novel¿s religious and political themes, such as the hypocrisy of State Christianity and the injustice of the penal system, which were also the subject of Tolstoy¿s nonfiction treatise on Christian anarchism, The Kingdom of God Is Within You. The novel also explores the ¿single tax¿ economic theory propounded by the American economist Henry George, which drives a major subplot in the novel concerning the management of Nekhlúdoff¿s estates.

Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was a Russian author best known for his novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina which are considered to be the greatest novels of realist fiction. Tolstoy is also regarded as worlds best novelist by many. In addition to writing novels, Tolstoy also authored short stories, essays and plays. Also a moral thinker and a social r

The Power of Darkness is a five-act drama that follows the downfall of the peasants Anísya and Nikíta as they succumb to a series of sordid temptations, from adultery and drunkenness to outright murder. Written in 1886 but suppressed by censors until 1902, the play is a realist portrayal of some of the darkest elements of Russian peasant life. Similar to some other late Tolstoy works, like Resurrection, the play¿s psychological exploration of human depravity is accompanied by a sharp social critique of the Russian Empire and its role in perpetuating poverty and ignorance among its lowest and most marginalized classes.

In this short novel, Tolstoy fictionalizes the final days of Hadji Murád, a legendary Avar separatist who fought against, and later with, Russia, as the Russian Empire was struggling to annex Chechnya and the surrounding land in the late 1840s.The novel opens with the narrator finding a thistle crushed in a blooming field, which reminds him of Hadji Murád and his tragic tale. As the narrator recounts the story, the reader is quickly thrust into the rich, colorful history of the Caucuses, and its people¿s fight against Russian imperialism.Hadji Murád is portrayed as a legendary and imposing, yet friendly and approachable figure. Despite his reputation, it seems that his best days are behind him; as the novel opens, Murád is fleeing Shamil, a powerful imam who has captured Murád¿s family. Murád finds himself thrust between the invading Russians on one side, and Shamil¿s vengeance on the other.As Murád and his tiny but loyal group of warriors try to forge alliances in their attempt to rescue Murád¿s family, they quickly find themselves politically outclassed. The Russians are Murád¿s enemies, yet only they can help him in his struggle against Shamil; and after years of losses incurred by Murád¿s guerrilla tactics, the Russians would like his help but cannot trust him. Shamil, on the other hand, is a deep link to the region¿s complex web of tribal blood feuds, vengeances, reprisals, and quarrels over honor. He¿s one of the few powers left standing between the Russians and their control of the Caucuses, but Murád, having crossed him, can¿t rescue his family from Shamil¿s clutches without the help of the Russians.Murád¿s impossible position, the contradiction between his legendary past and his limping, dignified, and ultimately powerless present, and the struggle against a mighty empire by a people torn by internecine conflict, form the major thematic threads of the novel.The novel was one of the last that Tolstoy finished before his death, and was only published posthumously in 1912. Tolstoy himself served in the Crimean War, and the war scenes portrayed in the novel echo his personal experiences. As the story progresses, Tolstoy characterizes various real-life historical personalities besides Hadji Murád and Shamil, including Emperor Nicholas I, Mikhail Loris-Melikov, and Count Vorontsov-Dashkov, making this a fascinating piece of historical fiction. Despite this being such a late entry in Tolstoy¿s corpus, it has been highly praised by critics both contemporary and modern, with the famous critic Harold Bloom going so far as to say that Hadji Murád is ¿my personal touchstone for the sublime of prose fiction, to me the best story in the world, or at least the best I have ever read.¿
