The judge Ivan Ilyich Golovin has spent his life in the pursuit of
wealth and status, devoting himself obsessively to work and often
neglecting his family in the process. When, after a small accident,
he fails to make the expected recovery, it gradually becomes clear
that he is soon to die. Ivan Ilyich then starts to question the
futility and barrenness of his previous existence, realizing to his
horror, as he grapples with the meaning of life and death, that he
is totally alone. Included in this volume is another celebrated
novella by Tolstoy, The Devil, which addresses the conflicts
between desire, social norms and personal conscience, providing at
the same time a further exploration of human fear and obsession.
