The narrative follows Ivan Ilyich, a high court judge, as he confronts a severe illness and grapples with the reality of death. Beyond the personal struggle, the novella delves into profound philosophical questions about the nature of existence and the meaning of life. Through Ivan's journey, it prompts readers to reflect on mortality and authenticity, echoing themes explored by German philosopher Martin Heidegger, who highlights the work as a representation of "Being towards death."
