    Terrible translation and editing. I apologize to the editor of the book, but it is unacceptable to have half-written words, phrases without spaces between them, and spelling mistakes in a 120-page book, especially a book by one of the greatest authors of humanity. Obviously, my rating is intended for the translation and editing, not for the work itself, which is a masterpiece.

Description & Specifications

The novella "The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1884-1886)" occupies a central position in Tolstoy's work from the years 1880-1890. Its theme - the narration of the end of a judge - is defined by Tolstoy as "a description of the simple death of a simple man."

The main significance of the work lies in the reflections made by the sick man on his entire past life, as well as his conclusion that "a respectable, cheerful pleasurable life" is worse than the horror of death.

The social institutions that envelop Ivan Ilyich's life like a web of spider silk with hypocrisy and deceit, uprooting everything humane within him, are the cause of the drama he experiences in his final days.

In this solid, specific, and deeply profound placement of the issue lies the broader significance of the novella, which is one of the most important works of world realist literature...
