Produktinformationen "The Death of Ivan Ilych"
The Death of Ivan Ilych is a novella written by Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy in 1886. The story opens with the news of Ivan Ilych s death, revealing the indifferent reactions of his wife and colleagues who are more concerned about financial matters and career opportunities than mourning his passing. The book then delves into Ivan s life, detailing his rise in the civil service, his marriage, and his relationship with his children. Throughout his life, he follows societal expectations without truly engaging in meaningful relationships or pursuing his own desires. As Ivan faces a terminal illness, he is forced to confront the reality of his existence. He experiences a profound awakening, realizing the emptiness of his life choices and the superficiality of his relationships. The novella examines themes of mortality, the search for meaning, and the contrast between living a life of societal convention versus one of personal authenticity. It ultimately challenges readers to reflect on the value of their own lives and the legacy they will leave behind.
