La muerte de Ivan Ilich

by Leo Tolstoy

Overview

Leon Tolstoi es considerado uno de los escritores más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y uno de los novelistas excepcionales de todos los tiempos. Entre su extensa producción literaria, una de sus novelas breves más sobresalientes es precisamente: La muerte de Iván Ilich, en la que, sin duda alcanza la perfección . Su magnifica narrativa, donde la acción fluye como un torrente, permite asistir a las zonas oscuras de la decadencia del ser humano. Decadencia que ocurre primero en lo corporal y después en lo espiritual, su lenguaje preciso y certero nos muestra como el dolor recorre y abarca lenta, contundentemente, el cuerpo de su protagonista, hasta su placentera muerte.
