QR code
"The Awakening" by Leo Tolstoy is a novel published in 1899. A nobleman serving on a jury recognizes the defendant—a prostitute accused of murder—as a young woman he seduced and abandoned years earlier. Confronting his guilt, he attempts to help her as she faces exile to Siberia. His journey exposes him to a hidden world of injustice, cruelty, and human suffering beneath his privileged existence. The novel critiques Russian society, man-made laws,
and institutional hypocrisy while exploring one man's search for redemption. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
