The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy - Bog

"Ivan Ilych's life had been most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible." Written shortly after his conversion to Christianity, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is one of Tolstoy's masterpieces in fiction. A man facing death is forced to reconcile the contradictions of his own existence and his fear of the unknown in what may or may not exist after life.
