The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories is a collection of stories that emerged from a profound spiritual crisis, during which Leo Tolstoy believed that he had encountered death itself. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction by Anthony Briggs, David McDuff and Ronald Wilks.These seven compelling stories explore, in very different ways, Tolstoy's preoccupation with mortality. 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' is a devastating account of a man fighting his inevitable end, and asks the existential question: why must a good person be taken before his time? In 'Polikushka', a light-fingered drunk's chance to prove himself has tragic repercussions, while 'Three Deaths' depicts the last moments of an aristocrat, a peasant and a tree, and 'The Forged Coupon' shows a seemingly minor offence that leads inexorably to ever more horrific crimes. And in three tales about soldiers, 'After the Ball', 'The Wood-felling' and 'The Raid', Tolstoy portrays the brutality that all too often accompanies military life.The translations by Anthony Briggs, David McDuff and Ronald Wilks capture Tolstoy's powerful, vivid prose. This edition also includes a new introduction by Anthony Briggs discussing Tolstoy's breakdown and the effect this had on his writing, as well as a chronology, further reading and notes.Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) was born at Yasnaya Polyana, in central Russia. He led a life of wasteful idleness until 1851, when he travelled to the Caucasus and joined the army with his older brother, fighting in the Crimean war. After marrying Sofya Behrs in 1862, Tolstoy settled down, managing his estates and writing two of his best-known novels, War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1878). In 1884 Tolstoy experienced a spiritual crisis, becoming an extreme moralist, rejecting the state, the church and private property. His last novel, Resurrection (1900), was written to raise money for the Doukhobor sect of Christian spiritualists.If you enjoyed The Death of Ivan Ilyich, you might like Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, also available in Penguin Classics.

Product description
About the Author
Leo Tolstoy was born in 1828 in the Tula province. He studied at the University of Kazan, then led a life of pleasure until 1851 when he joined an artillery regiment in the Caucasus. He established his reputation as a writer with The Sebastopol Sketches (1855-6). After a period in St Petersburg and abroad, he married, had thirteen children, managed his vast estates in the Volga Steppes and wrote War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). A Confession (1879-82) marked a spiritual crisis in his life, and in 1901 he was excommuincated by the Russian Holy Synod. He died in 1910, in the course of a dramatic flight from home, at the railway station of Astapovo.
David McDuff's translations for Penguin Classics include Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot, and Babel's short stories.

Speechless!
Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on 18 October 2019Verified Purchase
Tolstoy is my favorite Russian writer. Throughout his stories runs a parallel line in which you feel how much Tolstoy loved the common people about which he wrote. I fear I'm far away of making any sort of review that can really match to the grandiosity of this Titan of Russian and world literature. I've read most of his short novels and each one is a gem on itself. Amazing!

“The Death of I.I.” Is great.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 30 December 2021Verified Purchase
Other than it’s namesake, there were 2-3 short stories I enjoyed, however to a substantially less degree. DoII is barely over 50pgs but WOW. Would’ve been 5 stars but the other stories brought it to a 4.5, but that rounds up to 5!
It’s motivated me to read more his short stories!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 20 May 2016Verified Purchase
Wonderful collection which I am embarassed to say I never before read. Tolstoy is such a keen observer of people and their character and emotions: I know Im not the first one to appreciate him! I bought this book because I wanted to read the Death of Ivan Ilyich: as a physician I wanted to know how Tolstoy so famously depicted his excrutiatingly painful death, in order to both help my patients and for my own self-awareness.
