La muerte de Iván Ilich

by Leo Tolstoy

Overview

Novela corta cuya intriga gira en torno a Ivan Ilich, un pequeño burócrata que fue educado en su infancia con las convicciones de poder alcanzar un puesto dentro del gobierno del Imperio Zarista. Poco a poco sus ideales se van cumpliendo, pero se dará cuenta de que no ha servido de nada dicho esfuerzo; al llegar cerca de la posición que siempre ha soñado, se encontrará con el dilema de descifrar el significado de tanto sacrificio, y de valorar también el malestar reinante en el pequeño entorno familiar que se ha construido.
