This new edition combines Tolstoy's most famous short tale, The Death of Ivan
Ilyich , with a less well known but equally brilliant gem, Master and Man , both
newly translated by Ann Pasternak Slater. Both stories confront death and the
process of dying: In Ivan Ilyich , a bureaucrat looks back over his life, which
suddenly seems meaningless and wasteful, while in Master and Man, a landowner
and servant must each confront the value of the other as they brave a
devastating snowstorm. The quintessential Tolstoyan themes of mortality,
spiritual redemption, and life's meaning are nowhere more movingly and deftly
explored than in these two tales.
This unique edition also includes a critical Introduction and extensive notes by
Ann Pasternak Slater, a Fellow at St. Anne's College, Oxford.
