The Death of Ivan Ilyich: A Profound Meditation on Life, Mortality, and Meaning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781804215227)

What if the life you built was nothing more than an illusion?

The Death of Ivan Ilyich is one of Leo Tolstoy's most profound and thought-provoking works-a gripping tale of a man forced to face his own mortality. Ivan Ilyich, a high-ranking judge, has lived his life according to society's expectations, seeking prestige, wealth, and comfort. But when a sudden illness begins to consume him, he is left utterly alone, abandoned by the very people he once sought to impress.

As his body deteriorates, Ivan is plagued by a terrifying realization: he has spent his entire life avoiding the truth. His pain and suffering are not merely physical-they are the symptoms of a life lived without genuine meaning. Through his agony, he embarks on a final journey of self-discovery, leading to a moment of clarity that transforms his understanding of existence itself.
