Ivan Iliyichinte maranam LEO TOLSTOY
മരണമെന്ന ജീവിത യാഥാർത്ഥ്യത്തെ കുറിച്ച് ലിയോടോൾസ്റ്റോയ് എന്ന എഴുത്തുകാരന്റെ ജീവിതദർശനമാണ് ‘ഇവാൻ ഇലിയിച്ചിന്റെ മരണം’ സങ്കൽപ്പങ്ങളുടെയും ഭാവനയുടെയും വലിയ ലോകത്തിൽ മാത്രമാണ് മരണമെന്ന വലിയ അനുഭവത്തെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള സംവാദങ്ങൾ നടക്കുന്നത്. എന്നാൽ ജീവിതം ഓർക്കാപ്പുറത്തെവിടെയോ കൊഴിഞ്ഞു വീഴുമ്പോൾ ഒരു ദർശനവും മരണത്തെ അഭിമുഖീകരിക്കുന്ന്വന്റെ ഉത്കണ്ഠയ്ക്ക് ശമനമാകുന്നില്ല. മരൺത്തെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള സന്ദേഹങ്ങൾ അവസാനിക്കുന്നത് മരണത്തോടെയാണെന്നും ജീവിതം ജീവിച്ചു തീരുമ്പോഴാണ് ഉത്കൃഷ്ടമായൊരു ദർശനം പിറവിയെടുക്കുന്നതെന്നും ടോൾസ്റ്റോയി നമ്മെ പഠിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.Hailed as one of the world's supreme masterpieces on the subject of death and dying, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his dying so much as a passing thought. But one day, death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise, he is brought face to face with his own mortality. How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth?This short novel was an artistic culmination of a profound spiritual crisis in Tolstoy's life, a nine-year period following the publication of Anna Karenina during which he wrote not a word of fiction.A thoroughly absorbing and, at times, terrifying glimpse into the abyss of death, it is also a strong testament to the possibility of finding spiritual salvation.

True story and indeed masterpiece of the great russian novelist ANNA
The narrative centers on the adulterous affair between Anna, wife of Aleksey Karenin, and Count Vronsky, a young bachelor. Karenin's discovery of the liaison arouses only his concern for his own public image. Anna promises discretion for the sake of her husband and young son but eventually becomes pregnant by Vronsky. After the child is born, Anna and the child accompany Vronsky first to Italy, then to his Russian estate. She begins making furtive trips to see her older child and grows increasingly bitter toward Vronsky, eventually regarding him as unfaithful. In desperation she goes to the train station, purchases a ticket, and then impulsively throws herself in front of the incoming train. A parallel love story, involving the difficult courtship and fulfilling marriage of Kitty and Levin, provides rich counterpoint to the tragedy and is thought to reflect Tolstoy's own marital experience. There is an inevitability about the tragic fate that hangs over the adulterous love of Anna and Vronsky. About the Author:-Leo Tolstoy, or Count Lyev Nikolayevich Tolstoy September 9 , 1828 – November 20, 1910) was a Russian writer whom many consider to be the world's greatest novelist.His masterpieces War and Peace and Anna Karenina represent in their scope, breadth and vivid depiction of 19th-century Russian life and attitudes, the peak of realist fiction.
