Exploring themes of injustice and hypocrisy, Tolstoy's final novel reveals the stark contrast between aristocratic privilege and the harsh realities faced by the oppressed. The story follows Nekhlyudov, who, after visiting the wrongly convicted maid Maslova in Siberia, confronts the grim truths of societal oppression and the failures of man-made laws. As he listens to the prisoners' stories, he awakens to the moral complexities of his world, challenging the institutionalized beliefs he once accepted.
