The Death of Ivan Ilyich
About this book
What if, at the moment of death, you realized your whole life had been lived in vain?
The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886), by Leo Tolstoy, is one of the most powerful works of existential literature ever written.
The novella tells the story of Ivan Ilyich, a high-ranking judge who has lived his life by society's expectations—focused on career, appearances, and propriety. But when he is struck by a terminal illness, he is forced to confront the emptiness of his existence, the inevitability of death, and the possibility of a deeper truth.
With piercing clarity, Tolstoy transforms a personal tragedy into a universal meditation on mortality, the meaning of life, and the search for authenticity. His profound psychological insight and unflinching honesty make this short work one of the most enduring and influential pieces of world literature.
