The Mauds seem to capture the essence or spirit of Tolstoy's writing better than any other translator. (less)

Is there a continuation of this story documented in another novel? I very much enjoyed reading Resurrection and would like to know if Tolstoy had anything more to say about Nekhlyudov's life post Resurrection.

I've heard that Leo Tolstoy actually wanted to write a shorter book about an exile in Siberia when he began War and Peace. Is this it?

"Edebiyat Tolstoy’u etkisi altına aldığı zamanlarda bir yazar olmak hayli basit ve keyiflidir; bu vakte kadar hiçbir şey başaramadıysanız ve bugün de hâlâ elinizde bir şey yoksa bile… Bu, aksi durumdan daha korkunç bir şey değildir; çünkü Tolstoy hepimiz adına başarır: Edebiyat üzerine kurulmuş tüm ümitlerin ve beklentilerin hakkını verir her defasında.”?

"Diriliş, vicdan azabının ezici baskısını anlatırken, ceza hukukuna, gelir dağılımına, soylulara, mülkiyet hakkına ve sosyal adaletsizliğe de ağır eleştiriler yöneltir. Eserlerinde ahlaki değerlere vurgu yapan Tolstoy, bu romanında toplum tarafından öldürülen insan ruhu, vicdanı ve inancının yeniden diriliş ihtimalini sorgular."?
