Excerpt from Leo Tolstoy Resurrection, Vol. 2In the corner of the room stood an antique inlaid arm chair, and the sight of this old chair which he re membered seeing in his mother's bedroom suddenly evoked in Nekhliudov's soul an entirely unexpected feel ing. He began to feel sorry for the house that would go to wreck and ruin, and for the garden that would be neg lected, and for the woods that would be exterminated, and for all those cattle pens, stables, implement sheds, machines, horses, cows, which, he knew, cost so much trouble and effort to instal and to maintain, though the trouble and effort had not been his own. It had seemed before such an easy thing to renounce all this, but now he regretted not only this, but also the land and the loss of half the revenue, which might now prove so useful. And instantly there were at his beck and call many spe cions arguments which showed that it was not sensible or proper to give up the land to the peasants and to destroy his property.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
