Free Audiobook: Tolstoy’s “The Death of Ivan Illyitch”

Here’s a free LibriVox download of the audio version of Leo Tolstoy’s (d. 1910) masterpiece, “The Death of Ivan Illyitch.” Here’s the blurb:

The Death of Ivan Ilyitch is the story of a socially ambitious middle-aged judge who contracts an unexplained and untreatable illness. As Ivan Ilyitch is forced to face the death he fears, he asks himself whether the life he thought was so correct was, in fact, a moral life after all. Written after Tolstoy's religious conversion, the novella is widely considered to be one of his masterpieces.
