About this listen
Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a small book with singular depth of insight. The book was published in 1886, breaking a nine-year literary silence after the publication of Anna Karenina. It is considered to be one of the great explorations of death and dying in all of Western Literature. No author in so few words summons so many emotions into the reader's soul. This masterpiece has been paired here with another of Tolstoy's short novels, Master and Man, which too examnes the human response to mortality. Together these two stories will ultimately offer encouragement to the spiritually hungry.

Tolstoy, Simon vance... Can't go wrong
Vance could literally read the phone book (if they still existed) and make it sound like a work of art. For some reason I love his voice more than anything, no idea how he does it! The tone and subtlety that he uses is above and beyond. Also the breadth of vances work speaks for itself, anything from Alan Moore to bram stoker!! Vances voice and character portrayal is nothing short of genius. Tolstoys stories here are OK too.

Excellent
Very well read and annunciated, the narrator captures the atmosphere well in both stories. It goes without saying that Tolstoy crafts his short stories masterfully, resulting in a throughly enjoyable audiobook
