Ivan Ilyich is a high-court judge living under the tsarist regime in 19th-century Russia. Like the rest of his colleagues, his only aspiration is to continue climbing the career ladder within the administration in order to secure his well-being and cement his status in bourgeois society. Trapped in a loveless marriage of convenience, he quickly realizes his antipathy for domestic life and throws himself into his work--a monotonous existence, until an accident at home forces him to question everything he's lived for. One of Tolstoy's latest works, "The Death of Ivan Ilyich "is an unquestionable masterpiece that raises universal questions about life's purpose and an individual's calling.
