The Death of Ivan Ilych

In “The Death of Ivan Ilych,” Leo Tolstoy masterfully navigates the themes of mortality, existential dread, and the search for authentic meaning in life. Written in a clear yet profound narrative style, the novella juxtaposes the hollow pursuits of societal success against the stark reality of death. Tolstoy's rich, psychological depth paints a vivid picture of Ivan Ilych's life, which is ultimately stripped bare as he confronts the inevitability of his mortality. The work reflects the author'Äôs late 19th-century context, characterized by a growing discontent with societal norms and a quest for spiritual truth, weaving in the philosophical insights of his own spiritual journey. Leo Tolstoy, renowned for his epic works such as “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina,” was profoundly influenced by his personal experiences with existential questioning and spirituality. His shift from a life of aristocratic privilege to a more ascetic existence informed his views on what constitutes a meaningful life. This transformation becomes evident in the novella, as Tolstoy critiques not only the superficiality of contemporary society but also the common anxieties of the human condition. Highly recommended for readers seeking a poignant exploration of existential themes, “The Death of Ivan Ilych” serves as a powerful reminder of the ultimate questions that confront humanity. Tolstoy engages readers with profound insight and empathy, urging us to reflect on our lives and the legacies we leave behind.

    Life, a series of increasing sufferings, flies further and further towards its end—the most terrible suffering.
  • Nikolai C.fez uma citaçãohá 2 meses
    His mental sufferings were due to the fact that that night, as he looked at Gerasim’s sleepy, good-natured face with its prominent cheek-bones, the question suddenly occurred to him: “What if my whole life has been wrong?”
  • Nikolai C.fez uma citaçãohá 2 meses
    Ivan Ilych wanted to weep, wanted to be petted and cried over, and then his colleague Shebek would come, and instead of weeping and being petted, Ivan Ilych would assume a serious, severe, and profound air, and by force of habit would express his opinion on a decision of the Court of Cassation and would stubbornly insist on that view. This falsity around him and within him did more than anything else to poison his last days.
