"Ivan Ilyich's life had been most simple and most ordinary—and therefore most terrible."

In this powerful novella, Leo Tolstoy explores the terrifyingly universal truth that life can be lived without meaning—until the moment of death forces brutal clarity. The Death of Ivan Ilyich follows a respected judge who, upon facing a terminal illness, begins to unravel not only physically, but existentially.

As Ivan confronts mortality, he is forced to reckon with a lifetime of superficiality, ambition, and denial—leading to a harrowing and illuminating internal journey.
