What if redemption required you to confront the worst version of yourself?

In The Complete Leo Tolstoy Collection (Vol. 4), two of the Russian master's most emotionally stirring and morally challenging works come together in a powerful modern translation that brings new life to their enduring themes. This volume reveals Tolstoy's relentless search for justice, equality, and personal transformation.

In Resurrection, Prince Dmitri's casual seduction of a servant girl sets in motion a devastating chain of events. Years later, wracked with guilt, he sees her again-now unjustly imprisoned-and resolves to atone for his actions, even if it means upending his life and position.

In Master and Man, a wealthy landowner and his servant are trapped in a blizzard. As the storm intensifies, so too does their moral struggle-culminating in a harrowing revelation about duty, ego, and the bond between master and man.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

  • Resurrection - A spiritual and legal journey of guilt, class, and repentance as one man seeks to right a grave wrong.
  • Master and Man - A stark fable of life, death, and selflessness in the face of nature's indifference.
  • A Deep Exploration of Redemption - These stories strip away societal privilege to expose the core of human dignity.
  • Tolstoy's Moral Genius Made Accessible - This edition adapts Tolstoy's language for the contemporary reader without losing the philosophical fire that made him a titan of world literature.
  • Themes of Justice, Mercy, and the Human Condition - Timeless insights for readers navigating a modern world still haunted by inequality and indifference.
  • This volume is essential for anyone who seeks to understand the full range of Tolstoy's ethical vision-and the redemptive power of moral awakening.
