Resurrection
also: Воскресение
Leo Tolstoy's final novel (1899), offered by a duty nurse as edifying hospital reading to the new mother Yelena Ivanovna in Pisareva's "Happiness" -- an anachronistic touch (Chekhov's own dubia piece is dated 1885 in the colophon) noted for its emotional resonance rather than its plot.
Reading notes
- Poems and Dubia (school-age and disputed juvenilia) §5155 'Resurrection,' say
Tolstoy's novel Resurrection (1899), offered as edifying hospital reading -- an anachronism against the volume's stated 1885 dating for this dubia piece, suggesting either a later composition or a later textual layer.
