Description:

This is the 2012 Turkish edition of The Death of Ivan Ilyich (İvan İlyiç’in Ölümü), published by Qraf Yayınları. Written by Leo Tolstoy and first published in 1886, the novella is one of Tolstoy’s most powerful and psychologically profound works.

The story follows Ivan Ilyich, a high-ranking judge in 19th-century Russia who lives a conventional, socially approved life. After suffering a mysterious illness, he is forced to confront his own mortality. As his physical condition worsens, he begins to reflect on his past, realizing that much of his life has been empty, superficial, and driven by social expectations rather than genuine meaning. The novella explores his growing awareness of death, truth, and spiritual awakening in his final days.

Leo Tolstoy is one of the greatest figures in world literature, known for his epic novels and deep philosophical exploration of morality, society, and human existence. In his later works, he focused increasingly on spiritual truth, simplicity, and the meaning of life. The Death of Ivan Ilyich is considered one of his most important philosophical and psychological works.

This Qraf Yayınları edition presents a Turkish translation of Tolstoy’s novella, making it accessible to modern readers. As a classic exploration of death and meaning, it holds strong literary and philosophical significance.
