The novel, completed after a decade of work, reflects Tolstoy's deep humanitarian concerns, particularly for the persecuted Doukhobor sect in Russia. Motivated by their plight, he dedicated the book's proceeds to support their emigration to Canada. This final work not only showcases Tolstoy's literary mastery but also his commitment to social justice, ultimately aiding hundreds of Doukhobors in their quest for a better life.
