About this book

Short yet deeply unsettling, The Death of Ivan Ilych is one of Leo Tolstoy's most profound works. Through the story of an ordinary man facing terminal illness, Tolstoy exposes the emptiness of superficial success and the quiet terror of an unexamined life. Written with emotional precision and psychological depth, the novella forces readers to confront uncomfortable truths about mortality, authenticity, and compassion. Praised as a masterpiece of philosophical fiction, it has influenced thinkers, writers, and readers for generations. This book is not about death alone—it is about how we live, what truly matters, and the courage required to face truth. A timeless and transformative read, it leaves a lasting impression long after the final page. If you seek literature that challenges and enlightens, this classic is essential.
