內容簡介
內容簡介 What if you realized, too late, that your whole life had been a lie? 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.
