Read the Resurrection book behind the movie

A Prince Serving on a Jury Recognizes the Woman He Seduced and Abandoned, Then Follows Her Sentence into Russia's Courts, Prisons, and Exile · by Leo Tolstoy, Anthony Briggs

Why this book?

Paolo and Vittorio Taviani's three-hour television film directly follows Katiuscia Maslova's murder trial, juror Dimitri Nekhlyudov's recognition of the woman he once seduced and abandoned, his attempts to overturn her sentence, and their long movement toward Siberian exile and separate forms of moral renewal. Its extended international production retains political prisoners, appeals, aristocratic society, and Katiuscia's final choice of another future while necessarily reducing Tolstoy's commentary and secondary encounters. The novel supplies the complete social architecture through which one man's guilt becomes an investigation of courts, estates, prisons, churches, and the danger of treating another person's redemption as his possession.
