- "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" by Leo Tolstoy is a novella that explores the life and death of the titular character, Ivan Ilyich Golovin. The story begins with Ivan's colleagues reacting to news of his death with indifference and relief, setting the tone for the theme of societal conformity and superficiality. Ivan's life is marked by a pursuit of societal success and adherence to conventional norms, but he becomes increasingly disillusioned and unhappy as he realizes the emptiness of his existence. It is only in the face of his terminal illness that he begins to question the meaning of life and grapple with the existential questions that have been suppressed for so long. Ultimately, Ivan's death serves as a powerful commentary on the consequences of living a life devoid of authenticity and self-awareness.

Neural Surfer, you do wonderful work by sharing these stories and ideas. I listen every night, not knowing who I’ll be listening to or what piece of wisdom I’ll pick up… and am never disappointed. Thank you.
I carry a copy of this novella with me (along with “sidhartha” by Herman Hesse ) when I’m traveling.. thanks for posting this!
Så mästerlig uppläsning och en så mästerlig inblick i en personlig upplevelse och beskrivning av sin samtid och nära omgivning och sitution. Otroligt autentiskt och komplett. Vi som lyssnare till livereportaget får vara med i varje sekund! Det här kan vara den bästa berättelse hittills.
A cautionary tale against living a superficial life
Such a great reading of a superb novella. Thanks
Thank you so so so much ❤❤❤
Excellent ...
Who is the artist of the thumbnail painting?
This feels profound and terrifying at the same time. ....
Thanks for sharing. Why does the reader keep changing the pronunciation of the name Ivan almost every other sentence?
Asking this question, meaning that you would not understand the answer.. and I don't mean to be rude..
@@marioangel7982I wondered the same. Call me stupid but can you explain? Ivan and Eeevan. I don’t get it.
Could it AI read?
@@ronmapes3354 possibly. I noticed the same in another of Tolstoy’s narrated short stories.
It's AI.
It is important to both hasten funerals and maximize attendance.
Even if one doesn't see apparent causes of an early death, one should prepare one's affairs to pass on when that happens.
The shifting of conscious seems to limit it in other ways.
What an excellent story! Could it be true for everyone after death comes the light? So what after light??.😂😂
