The Death of Ivan Ilyich & Other Stories by 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.
