Tema perubahan sosial yang ada di dalam sebuah novel sudah banyak dikaji dari berbagai perspektif karena kebermanfaatannya dalam mengetahui sejauh mana perubahan sosial di masyarakat itu terjadi. Akan tetapi, penelitian-penelitian itu hanya memaparkan bentuk-bentuk perubahan sosial dan faktor­‐faktor penyebabnya yang ada di dalam novel. Oleh karena itu, selain untuk mengungkap bentuk­‐bentuk dan faktor­‐faktor penyebab perubahan sosial, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menggali arah perubahan sosial dan upaya menangkal perubahan yang bersifat negatif di dalam novel Aku Mencintaimu Shanyuan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif analisis dengan didukung oleh pendekatan sosiologi sastra. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di dalam novel Aku Mencintaimu Shanyuan ini terjadi perubahan sosial di masyarakat Desa Resak, Kabupaten Kutai Barat yang diakibatkan oleh interaksi sosial dengan kebudayaan lain. Akan tetapi, perubahan sosial yang disebabkan oleh faktor eksternal itu masih dalam taraf perubahan pada bagian-bagian sistem, sedangkan sistem masih tetap utuh. Oleh karena itu, arah negatif dari perubahan sosial dapat diatasi dengan melestarikan kearifan lokal dan memperdalam agama yang tampak pada tokoh-tokoh dalam novel Aku Mencintaimu Shanyuan. Abstract: The social change theme in a novel has been analyzed from many perspectives for its advantages in understanding how far social change in the society happens. However, those researchers only explain the social change forms and the causal factors. Therefore, in addition to explaining the social change forms and their underlying factors, this research also aims to describe the social change direction and efforts in preventing negative social change in the novel Aku Mencintaimu Shanyuan. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis supported by sociology theory. The result shows that, in the novel, social change occurs among the society of Resak village, West Kutai Regency. The change is the consequence of social interaction with other cultures. However, the social changes caused by external factors are still parts of the system; the system itself is still intact. Therefore, negative social changes can be managed by conserving local genius and deepening the religion shown from the characters in the novel Aku Mencintaimu Shanyuan. Key Words: social change; local genius; Resak Villag

Resurrection (1899) is the last of Tolstoy's major novels. It tells the story of a nobleman's attempt to redeem the suffering his youthful philandering inflicted on a peasant girl who ends up a prisoner in Siberia. Tolstoy's vision of redemption achieved through loving forgiveness, and his condemnation of violence, dominate the novel. An intimate, psychological tale of guilt, anger, and forgiveness, Resurrection is at the same time a panoramic description of social life in Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, reflecting its author's outrage at the social injustices of the world in which he lived. This edition, which updates a classic translation, has explanatory notes and a substantial introduction based on the most recent scholarship in the field.

ASSESSMENTS OF ELIZABETH GASKELL’S two novels of social purpose typically conclude that North and South, published in 1855, is a more mature work stylistically and ideologically than Mary Barton, published in 1848. North and South is said to integrate the narrative modes of romance and realism more effectively than Mary Barton (Felber 63, Horsman 284), and to provide a more complicated narrative structure (Schor, Scheherezade 122–23), a more complex depiction of social conflicts (Easson 59 and 93) and a more satisfactory resolution of them (Duthie 84, Kestner 170). North and South is also said to deal with “more complex intellectual issues” (Craik 31). And the novel’s heroine, Margaret Hale, has been seen as Gaskell’s most mature creation — a woman who grows in self-awareness as she adapts to an alien environment (Kestner 164–166) and, unlike Mary Barton, becomes an active mediator of class conflicts (Stoneman 120), the central consciousness that brings together “the lessons of social change and romance” (Schor, Scheherezade 127).1 The reconciliation of these conflicts she inspires through her influence over both mill owner and worker has been praised as a more effective and credible narrative resolution to the social problems depicted in the novel than the reconciliation between mill owner and worker in Mary Barton (David 36).
