Description
The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories by Leo Tolstoy In this collection of thought-provoking short stories, Leo Tolstoy explores the human condition through the lives of his characters. As they face life's challenges, they reveal surprising reserves of courage and moral fibre. Two parables and a tale of crime explore the complexities of class relations and the relationship between ethics and worldly concerns. Through his masterful storytelling, Tolstoy delivers a biting satire that powerfully conveys the final illness and death of a bourgeois lawyer. This is a deeply moving and thought-provoking work that invites readers to reflect on the meaning of life and the importance of living an ethical life. Translated with sensitivity by Nicolas Pasternak Slater, this edition of The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories is part of the Oxford World's Classics series, which has made available a wide range of literature from around the world for over 100 years.
