A fitting monument to Tolstoy's battles with what it is that makes us human
Philip Womack, Observer
An indubitable masterpiece
Yann Martel
As good as anything Tolstoy ever wrote... Self-assured, vital, unforgettable
Guardian
For me, the best insight into the process of dying comes from Leo Tolstoy in his short story, The Death of Ivan Ilych, which examines the life and death of the most ordinary man
Oliver James, Mail on Sunday
I don't read Russian, but I think Tolstoy's writing comes over whatever translation you read...he wrote the great, terrible story The Death of Ivan Illyich
Redmond O'Hanlon, Independent
The simplicity and power of this novella, the story of the terrible encroachment of death on a shallow man spiritually unprepared for it, has staggered millions
Sunday Telegraph
