This book was released on 2013-07-03 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no explanation. Here in a vibrant new translation, the tale of a judge who slowly comes to understand that his illness is fatal was inspired by Tolstoy's observation at his local train station of hundreds of shackled prisoners being sent off to Siberia, many for petty crimes. When he learned that the sentencing judge had died, Tolstoy was roused to consider the judge's thoughts during his final days--a study on the acceptance of mortality only deepened by the death, during its writing, of one of Tolstoy's own young children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Death of Ivan Ilych Leo Tolstoy - Ivan Ilyich lives a carefree life that is "most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible". Like everyone he knows, he spends his life climbing the social ladder. Enduring marriage to a woman whom he often finds too demanding, he works his way up to be a magistrate, thanks to the influence he has over a friend who has just been promoted, focusing more on his work as his family life becomes less tolerable.While hanging curtains for his new home one day, he falls awkwardly and hurts his side. Though he does not think much of it at first, he begins to suffer from a pain in his side. As his discomfort grows, his behavior towards his family becomes more irritable. His wife finally insists that he visit a physician. The physician cannot pinpoint the source of his malady, but soon it becomes clear that his condition is terminal. Confronted with his diagnosis, Ivan attempts every remedy he can to obtain a cure for his worsening situation, until the pain grows so intense that he is forced to cease working and spend the remainder of his days in bed. Here, he is brought face to face with his mortality and realizes that, although he knows of it, he does not truly grasp it.During the long and painful process of dying, Ivan dwells on the idea that he does not deserve his suffering because he has lived rightly. If he had not lived a good life, there could be a reason for his pain; but he has, so pain and death must be arbitrary and senseless. As he begins to hate his family for avoiding the subject of his death, for pretending he is only sick and not dying, he finds his only comfort in his peasant boy servant, Gerasim, the only person in Ivan's life who does not fear death, and also the only one who, apart from his own son, shows compassion for him. Ivan begins to question whether he has, in fact, lived a good life.In the final days of his life, Ivan makes a clear split between an artificial life, such as his own, which masks the true meaning of life and makes one fear death, and an authentic life, the life of Gerasim. Authentic life is marked by compassion and sympathy, the artificial life by self-interest. Then "some force" strikes Ivan in the chest and side, and he is brought into the presence of a bright light. His hand falls onto his nearby son's head, and Ivan pities his son. He no longer hates his daughter or wife, but rather feels pity for them, and hopes his death will release them. In so doing, his terror of death leaves him, and as Tolstoy suggests, death itself disappears.

Download or read book The Death of Ivan Ilych written by Leon Tolstoy and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-28 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1860s, he wrote his first great novel, War and Peace. In 1873, Tolstoy set to work on the second of his best known novels, Anna Karenina. One of his most successful short works was The Death of Iván Ilych. Tolstoy's wrote the novelette following his conversion to Christianity. The author contrasts life (in the practice of law and as the head of his family) to death (in the narrow sack of darkness and total solitude). Faced with an interminable illness, Ivan Ilych reviews his past life, finding that he had lived the moral life of a loving father, a good provider, and an upright citizen. After much physical and mental suffering, towards the end of his agony, he hits upon a shocking question: “What if my whole life has been wrong?”The answer becomes a simple epiphany which reveals to him the truth. Once the light of understanding sets on him, he experiences an immediate release from his endless suffering. What really matters in this life is the truth, which he could only find in the throes of death. Our version is presented in contemporary American English. Many translations and editions in the public domain are in British English—19th century English. The only liberty we have taken is the portraying of Iván Ilych's thoughts —towards the end— in 'indirect free speech.'
