For Iván his life has been a success. You have done everything you should. What did not succeed, unlike his brother? Don't you have a diligent and loving wife? Isn't he a loving father, a blameless judge, a great friend? Iván's fragile world collapses, as he touches death he realizes the terrible truth: he only lived following the goals set by society. He does not decide to study law school for his own pleasure but for the money, power and social mobility that he offers, he does not marry for love but for inertia. The stability of the relationship with his wife depended on the economic well-being and social prestige that he had at the time. His life, so well-off and peaceful, is a great lie. Here society is embodied: alienated by money and the search for prestige. That is what Iván Ilyich pursued throughout his life. This society strives to keep up appearances always, not to go out of what is considered normal and thus, death, something so vital, seems alien and horrible to them. They do not hesitate to make the most of it without feeling mercy while pursuing empty and simple goals. the novel also presents a strong criticism of the way of life in the aristocratic Russian society of that time, indifferent, obtuse, routine, mouldable.

Ivan Ilyich lives a carefree life that is most simple and most ordinary and therefore most terrible. Like everyone he knows, he spends his life climbing the social ladder. Enduring marriage to a woman whom he often finds too demanding, he works his way up to be a magistrate, thanks to the influence he has over a friend who has just been promoted, focusing more on his work as his family life becomes less tolerable.While hanging curtains for his new home one day, he falls awkwardly and hurts his side. Though he does not think much of it at first, he begins to suffer from a pain in his side. As his discomfort grows, his behavior towards his family becomes more irritable. His wife finally insists that he visit a physician. The physician cannot pinpoint the source of his malady, but soon it becomes clear that his condition is terminal. Confronted with his diagnosis, Ivan attempts every remedy he can to obtain a cure for his worsening situation, until the pain grows so intense that he is forced to cease working and spend the remainder of his days in bed. Here, he is brought face to face with his mortality and realizes that, although he knows of it, he does not truly grasp it.

There is no explanation.Written eight years after the publication of Anna Karenina—a time during which, despite the global success of his novels, Leo Tolstoy renounced fiction in favor of religious and philosophical tracts—The Death of Ivan Ilych represents perhaps the most keenly realized melding of Tolstoy’s spirituality with his artistic skills.Here in a vibrant new translation, the tale of a judge who slowly comes to understand that his illness is fatal was inspired by Tolstoy’s observation at his local train station of hundreds of shackled prisoners being sent off to Siberia, many for petty crimes. When he learned that the sentencing judge had died, Tolstoy was roused to consider the judge’s thoughts during his final days—a study on the acceptance of mortality only deepened by the death, during its writing, of one of Tolstoy’s own young children.The final result is a magisterial story, both chilling and beguiling in the fullness of its empathy, its quotidian detail, and the beauty of its prose, and is, as many have claimed it to be, one of the most moving novellas ever written. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.
