5.0 out of 5 stars He writes of the fear of death no matter how good life is., August 10, 1998

By	(David Pinskey)mbedar4@ibm.net (Harrisburg, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Death of Ivan Ilich: An Interpretation (Twayne's Masterwork Studies) (No 119) (Hardcover)

I am reading a short story called "the Death of Ivan Ilych" by Leo Tolstoy. In reading it I couldn't help but see what I notice in those that face terminal illness. There is the fear of the inevitable doom that each of us must face in life's passing, and how angry and bitter one can become, no matter how well one's life was before coming to the state of dying. As I turn the pages I cannot help but to see my father-in-law's struggle with his sickness, and Aunt Faye's struggle with hers. If you haven't read this short story, you should. It has a remarkable insight into the human attitude when faced with certain death. David Pinskey

5.0 out of 5 stars The Death of Ivan Ilych, March 7, 2000

By A Customer

The Death of Ivan Ilych is one of the most enspiring readings. It is written to allow the reader their own interpretation of what death and life are. It opened up many doors for myself, to look into what the future and death may hold. I believe everyone should have the insitefulness to read and be moved by this wonderful writing.
