The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Leo Tolstoy

(suggested by Kayan)

Hailed as one of the world's supreme masterpieces on the subject of death and dying, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is the story of a worldly careerist, a high court judge who has never given the inevitability of his dying so much as a passing thought.

But one day death announces itself to him, and to his shocked surprise he is brought face-to-face with his own mortality.

How, Tolstoy asks, does an unreflective man confront his one and only moment of truth?

Where to meet
We will be meeting at Kingston Library, Fairfield Rd, KT1 2PS

https://goo.gl/maps/stuniZBoAbEcccyy5

We meet upstairs in a secret back room, so please ask a member of library staff to be let in.

Time

Please arrive at 18:10 for a 18:15 start sharp, so we can squeeze the most discussion out of the session :)

We will wrap up around 19:40 as the library needs us out by 19:45

There will then be an option to go for a drink at a nearby pub if anyone is interested.

As always please feel free to contact me with any questions etc, or post on the group wall.
