Resurrection
How can a soul stained with sin and deceit be reborn through true atonement?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I first faced this immense narrative, I felt revulsion at the hypocrisy of Nekhlyudov, who had destroyed another's life through a single moment of lust. Yet Tolstoy's insight casts its light upon the arduous process by which that very corrupted soul confronts its shame and changes. Indicting the violence of law and institution, its message—that true salvation is possible only through harrowing compassion for others and self-sacrifice—gives a moving that weighs upon the heart. This journey of resurrection, in which the human conscience awakens once more, leaves an unforgettable thrill.
"Men are like rivers: the water is the same in each, and alike in all; but every river is narrow here, is more rapid there..."Leo Tolstoy, Resurrection
"사람은 강물과 같다. 물은 어느 강에서나 마찬가지지만, 강은 좁아지기도 하고 넓어지기도 한다."
