The Living Corpse by Leo Tolstoy
A disillusioned aristocrat, tormented by conscience and spiritual crisis, abandons his life and stages his own death to free his wife to remarry; when his return threatens her new life and exposes the hypocrisies of society and the legal system, he is forced to confront love, guilt and the consequences of his sacrifice, leading to a tragic, self-destructive resolution that lays bare questions of morality, faith and social judgment.
