Bleak Classic Brilliance I have to admit it took me a while to warm up to this, before it utterly chilled me. Beautiful, heartbreaking writing charting the life, death, and regrets of one man performed wonderfully by Simon Prebble. As someone with chronic conditions and a lot of pain, this definitely hits different. Just awfully well observed humanity in its crumbling. Over this past year, I’ve had a goal of reading more classics, and one of the ones that I put on my TBR list this past month was The Death of Ivan Illych. I was excited to read another Leo Tolstoy book—it’s probably been a good 15 years since I read anything he wrote, and what I remember of his stories is that they were pretty good. Since this is a reasonably short story, divided into chapters, I didn’t find it a difficult read. It was a bit slower than some books I’ve read, but that’s to be expected. I really enjoyed a few observations through the story—for example, one man sat down “on a low ottoman with deranged springs which yielded spasmodically under his weight.” (That description tickled my funny bone!) I also got a good chuckle out of a relatively dry observation in chapter two about how governments reward people for faithful service by giving them fictitious jobs (“and by no means fictitious thousands”). The story itself wasn’t all that striking, I found. It’s the story of a man dying from some sort of illness—likely cancer—and how he came to realize that he had, in effect, wasted his entire life. I did appreciate the inference that if we pour into others and have a relationship with God, we will have a much happier end—even if we do end up with broken health at the end of our lives. This story wasn’t nearly as memorable as some of the other Tolstoy stories I remember hearing or reading over the years, but I’m glad to be back in a space where I’m excited about reading his stories, and I’m looking forward to the next story I read from his pen!
The light ridicule with which it commences and the black horror in which it terminates... are alike suggestive of the Thackeray of Russia.

\\\'Ivan Iljitsin kuolema on tarina laatuajan tavoittelusta, miehestä, joka suojelee miellyttävää, seurapiirien hyväksymää oleiluaan vaimon ja perheen aiheuttamilta häiriöiltä, nauttii iltaisin skruuvinpeluusta ja päivisin virka-asemansa suomasta vallantunnosta. Mutta juuri kun kulissit vaikuttavat kaikin puolin täydellisiltä, ajoittainen epämukavuus vatsan oikealla puolen alkaa muuttua päivä päivältä yhä sopimattomammaksi ja epäoikeudenmukaisemmaksi kivuksi. Sovinnaissäännöt sisäistänyt vaimo ja muu lähipiiri ymmärtää mainiosti, ettei saattohoito ole sellainen seuraelämän muodollisuus, joka heidän tulisi hallita, joten mies jää kohtaamaan hiljalleen etenevän, kulisseihin sopimattoman kuolemansa yksin. Vakavasta aihepiiristä huolimatta Tolstoin hykerryttävä ironia ja kirpeä sovinnaisuuden karrikointi tekee Ivan Iljitsin kuolemasta kaikkea muuta kuin synkkää luettavaa.\\\' -- (Basam Books) Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Ivan Iliç, një gjykatës rus, duke parandier vdekjen, i rrëfehet vetvetes, paraqet gjithë etapat e jetës së tij të qendërzuara mbi fanitjet dhe sigurinë iluzore që ai shpresonte të siguronte për vetveten dhe për të tjerët në emër të drejtësisë. Po kështu edhe novela tjetër është një himn mbi jetën dhe dashurinë
