Resurrection
by Leo Tolstoy
by Leo Tolstoy
| For his whole life, Leo Tolstoy was concerned, immensely concerned with Jesus; hence the title, Resurrection. --Osho Books I Have Loved |
1828-1910
Resurrection was Tolstoy's last work, first
published in 1899. original in Russian.
All the money made from this book was
donated by Tolstoy and his translators to the
Doukhobors, a Christian sect of Caucasian
Russians that were persecuted by the Russian
government--they were pacifists who refused
military service, had the habit of going about
without clothes, and other non-conformist
attitudes. Hundreds were exiled to Siberia, and
thousands ended up emigrating to Canada,
where they still exist in the present times in
Doukhobor communities.
