The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories (Signet Classics)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Leo Tolstoy combined detailed physical description with perceptive psychological insight to sweep aside the sham of surface appearances and lay bare manâ€™s intimate gestures, acts, and thoughts. Murder and sacrificeâ€¦greed and devotionâ€¦lust and affectionâ€¦vanity and loveâ€”one by one, in this volume of great stories, Tolstoy dissects the basic drives, emotions, and motives of ordinary people searching for self-knowledge and spiritual perfection. Chekhov said, â€œOf authors my favorite is Tolstoy.â€ And Turgenev â€œmarveled at the strength of his huge talentâ€¦It sends a cold shudder even down my backâ€¦He is a master, a master.â€

Now with a new introduction by Regina Marler and an afterword by Hugh McLean.
