The Princess herself started as the beautiful and intelligent American Christina Light in James's Roderick Hudson but has now come to London to escape the Neapolitan prince to whom she is unhappily married. Yet she and Robinson are only two of a larger set of characters whose commitment to an imagined revolutionary cause may be sincere or many be questionable. As is usual with Henry James, readers will have to make their own judgements.( Nicholas Clifford) More information: http://librivox.org/princess-casamassima-by-henry-james/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)

Tolstoy intended the novel as an exposition of injustice of man-made laws and the hypocrisy of institutionalized church. It was first published serially in the magazine Niva as an effort to raise funds for the resettlement of the Dukhobors. The story concerns a nobleman named Nekhlyudov, who seeks redemption for a sin committed years earlier. His brief affair with a maid resulted in her being fired and ending up in prostitution. The book treats his attempts to help her out of her current misery, but also focuses on his personal mental and moral struggle.(Summary from Wikipedia)Proof-Listeners: Karen Merline; enko; mim@can More information: http://librivox.org/resurrection-book-1-by-leo-tolstoy/
