Excerpt from Resurrection The great corner-stone of Resurrection is Tolstoi's love of men. You may make good bricks without love, but you cannot treat men without love, is what he says in substance. Nekhludof and Maslova are used to show the truth of the doctrine. All men were dear to Tolstoi. From his lofty heights he longed to uplift not only the morals of his own people, but those of humanity. He longed for all to strive for the divine ideal; his great heart embraced mankind. And as a reward, while he now sleeps under his oak, he still lives and will continue always to live in the hearts of men.
