The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories by Hugh McLean, James Duff Duff, Aylmer Maude, Leo Tolstoy
anna_near's review against another edition
5.0
Nothing sends me into crisis quite like a Tolstoy narrative does.
Seriously.
“Ivan Ilych's life had been most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible.”
Like how am I supposed to function??

A great read. Both novellas focus on life and death. They discuss this through the eyes of several characters, what they perceive in the world as good, successful and bad.
