Both stories confront death and the process of dying: In <i>Ivan Ilyich</i>, 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&#8217;s meaning are nowhere more movingly and deftly explored than in these two tales. <br><br>This unique edition also includes a critical Introduction and extensive notes by Ann Pasternak Slater, a Fellow at St. Anne&#8217;s College, Oxford. 3700831 1981 The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Master and Man (Modern Library) total:52|5:12|4:25|3:9|2:5|1:1| 52 198 76 11 3 0 false false Wed Mar 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 06:05:09 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 11:44:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 04:55:47 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 07 05:00:00 -0800 2009
