Leo Tolstoy – Resurrection (Diriliş) – Oda Yayınları Edition (2003)

Description:

This is the 2003 Turkish edition of Resurrection (Diriliş), published by Oda Yayınları. Written by Leo Tolstoy and first published in 1899, the novel is the last major work of the author and reflects his strong moral and spiritual concerns in later life.

The story follows Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov, who serves on a jury and unexpectedly recognizes the defendant, Katerina Maslova, a woman from his past whom he once seduced and abandoned. Stricken by guilt, he seeks to make amends by following her through the harsh Russian legal and prison system. As the story unfolds, the novel exposes injustice, corruption, and the cruelty of institutions, while also exploring themes of repentance, redemption, and moral awakening.

Leo Tolstoy is one of the most important figures in world literature, known for his epic novels and deep philosophical reflections on morality, society, and faith. In his later years, he became increasingly critical of social inequality and state institutions, advocating for non-violence and spiritual renewal. Resurrection is a direct expression of these late-life convictions.

This Oda Yayınları edition presents a Turkish translation of Tolstoy’s novel, making it accessible to modern readers. As his final completed novel, it holds significant literary and philosophical importance.
