The Death of Ivan Ilyich (Смерть Ивана Ильича)

Audiobook

Ivan Ilyich, a high court judge, becomes seriously ill and faces a long and gruelling battle with death. The Death of Ivan Ilyich is more than a story about death, however. It leads the reader through a pensive, metaphysical exploration of the reason for death and what it means to truly live. German philosopher Martin Heidegger refers to the novella as an illustration of Being towards death. Read in Russian, unabridged.

Повесть 'Смерть Ивана Ильича' широко признана одной из вершин мировой литературы и величайшим свершением Толстого в области малой литературной формы. 'Этот рассказ—самое яркое, самое совершенное и самое сложное произведение Толстого' В. В. Набоков. Текст повести читает Дмитрий Писаренко.
