The Death of Ivan Ilych
Description
In “The Death of Ivan Ilych,” Lev Tolstoy delves into the inevitable and
universal theme of death, presenting a poignant critique of artificial
bourgeois society and the struggles of the human soul. As Ivan Ilych grapples
with a terminal illness, he confronts the existential void and re-evaluates
the superficial life he has led. Tolstoy’s narrative is a meditation on the
nature of life and the inescapable truth of mortality. This masterful novella
remains a profound reflection on how we confront and give meaning to our own
ending. Read more
