A review by houselhoff
The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy

5.0

This was a quick read and my first venture into Tolstoy, and it was phenomenal and haunting all the same. Truly a dark, yet Stoic, Russian commentary on the human condition. There’s a lot to unpack in this one and I’ll be chewing on it for a while. One cannot truly live until you can accept your own suffering and death. Happy Friday!
