Auferstehung; Volume 1 [German]

By Leo Tolstoy

Auferstehung (Resurrection) is a profound and compelling novel by Leo Tolstoy, exploring themes of redemption, social injustice, and spiritual awakening. Set in late 19th-century Russia, the story follows Prince Nekhlyudov, a nobleman who seeks to atone for a past sin that led to the ruin of a young woman, Katyusha Maslova. His journey takes him from the opulent world of the Russian aristocracy to the harsh realities of prison camps and Siberian exile.

As Nekhlyudov confronts the consequences of his actions, he undergoes a profound moral transformation, questioning the values and privileges of his social class. Tolstoy masterfully portrays the stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, justice and corruption, and individual responsibility and societal indifference. "Auferstehung" is a powerful indictment of social inequality and a moving testament to the possibility of personal redemption through compassion and selflessness. This edition brings Tolstoy's masterpiece to a new generation of German readers, inviting them to grapple with its timeless themes and enduring moral questions.
