Resurrection is one of the masterpieces of Russian author Tolstoy. The book is surrounded with a familiar atmosphere of Tolstoy's writings. Namely, many people with different problems. There are two main characters Ekaterina Maslova and the Prince. Starting from the trial of Maslova, Tolstoy slowly builds the framework for a great criticism for legal system and punishment. One of the most appealing dialogues I have ever read is in Tolstoy's Resurrection, between the Prince and his sister's husband.
