Sinossi

He lived by convention—but only in dying did he truly live.

In The Death of Ivan Ilyich, Leo Tolstoy delivers one of the most emotionally powerful and philosophically rich novellas in world literature. As Ivan Ilyich, a respected judge, confronts a terminal illness, he also confronts a terrifying question: has his entire life been a lie?

Through psychological realism and piercing moral insight, Tolstoy explores themes of alienation, materialism, the inevitability of death, and the possibility of spiritual awakening. The novella is a landmark in existential literature—spare, searing, and deeply human.

This edition includes historical annotations and period illustrations, ideal for students, scholars, and readers seeking to reflect on life's ultimate questions.

"One of the most powerful stories ever written about death—and life." — The New York Times
"A quiet, devastating masterpiece of truth and compassion." — The Guardian
