ABOUT THE BOOK

A dying man confronts his fears

In Ivan Ilyich, Tolstoy created a powerful figure through which he illustrated the meaning and importance of life and death and human actions.

As an insidious illness overtakes him, Ivan Ilyich passes through the states of self-pity and hypocrisy to an awakening of the soul and, in meeting death, finally achieves peace. Many of Tolstoy's stories and novels, among them Anna Karenina and War and Peace, are published in Penguin Classics.
