The Death of Ivan Ilyich: A Profound Meditation on Life, Mortality, and Meaning (Large Print Deluxe Hardcover Edition For Easy Reading) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781806984916)

The Death of Ivan Ilyich is one of Leo Tolstoy's most profound and spiritually searing works. The novella tells the story of a respected judge whose comfortable life is upended by a mysterious and incurable illness.

As his body deteriorates, Ivan Ilyich begins to unravel emotionally and spiritually-confronting the fear of death and the unbearable emptiness of his choices.

In this modern translation, Tolstoy's haunting reflections on mortality, denial, and the meaning of a "good life" are presented with clarity and resonance for the contemporary reader. Far more than a meditation on death, this novella is a wake-up call to live with authenticity, compassion, and purpose.
