| Summary | "Ylösnousemus II" by Leo Tolstoy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around the character Dmitri Nehljudof, a landowner who is confronting the moral and social implications of his estate's management, particularly regarding his relationships with the serfs who work his land. As he reflects on his responsibilities and the inequality in the land ownership system, he seeks to reform the lives of the peasants under his care. At the start of the novel, Nehljudof is preparing for a trip to Saint Petersburg to advocate on behalf of Maslova, a woman linked to his past, who is facing punishment in a prison camp. His paternalistic feelings towards the serfs are conveyed through his musings about his childhood estate, where he is grappling with the realization of their dire conditions. As he arrives at his estate, he learns of the systemic injustices that govern the lives of his tenants, igniting an internal struggle about whether to surrender his land, ultimately leading to discussions with the local peasants about their future and rights. This opening sets the stage for Nehljudof's journey of self-discovery and his quest to rectify the wrongs of his past. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
