Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Au d�but de cette nouvelle, le h�ros - magistrat - est satisfait de sa vie. � mesure toutefois que se d�veloppe en lui une douleur qui ne veut pas dispara�tre et qu'il comprend que sa mort approche, il prend conscience aussi que son entourage ne le voit pas sous un jour aussi avantageux qu'il ne l'imaginait ; d'abord r�volt�, il se voit � mesure de ses r�flexions oblig� de constater que cette image peu flatteuse qu'on a de lui est fond�e.
