Description
audible1 recording of The Death of Ivan Ilyitch, by Leo Tolstoy. Translated by Constance Garnett.
Read by Laurie Anne Walden
The Death of Ivan Ilyitch is the story of a socially ambitious middle-aged judge who contracts an unexplained and untreatable illness. As Ivan Ilyitch is forced to face the death he fears, he asks himself whether the life he thought was so correct was, in fact, a moral life after all. Written after Tolstoy’s religious conversion, the novella is widely considered to be one of his masterpieces. (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)
