Synopsis
Though famous for the massive War and Peace, Tolstoy was equally adept at shorter forms as is shown by this novella. Ivan Ilyich Golovin is a high court judge in St Petersburg who lives a carefree life. One day, without warning, he is beset by pains and soon has to come to terms with the fact that he is going to die. The judge has to learn to face death without fear and yet feel compassion for the family he is leaving behind.
