The Death of Ivan Ilyich (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)
By Leo Tolstoy & Patrick Maxwell &Publisher Description
The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a profound meditation on mortality and the meaning of a well-lived life. The novella delves into the existential crisis of a seemingly ordinary man, Ivan Ilyich Golovin, as he confronts his impending death. The narrative chronicles his pursuit of societal success and conventional happiness, which ultimately lead him to a life devoid of authenticity and meaning. As Ivan grapples with the excruciating pain of a terminal illness, his gradual realization of the emptiness of his existence forces him to confront the lies he has been living and the genuine emotional connections he has neglected.
