A review by kajoreads
Ivan Iljitšin kuolema by Leo Tolstoy

emotional reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

There’s absolutely nothing exceptional about this, which is why I liked it. Ivan Ilyich is literally just some guy.



I’ve read the Finnish translation (Ivan Iljitšin kuolema) by Eero Balk.
