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

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.
