Review Roundup

Tolstoy's Resurrection, translated by Aylmer and Louise Maude, is lauded for its profound exploration of spiritual awakening and social injustice. However, critics note that its didactic tone can sometimes overshadow character development. The translation is praised for its fidelity and readability, yet some find the prose dated. Overall, it remains a significant, if occasionally heavy-handed, piece of literature.
