读过 The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
这本书里充满了有关死亡的思考，字里行间可以看到战争、濒死体验、死亡与救赎，同名篇自是名不虚传，从一个普通人的视角体验生活、疾病、身体日渐衰弱直到死亡，伊万伊里奇正如大多数人一样挣扎在家庭与工作之中，很容易让读者产生代入感，进而让伊万伊里奇濒死时有关虚假的生活和真实的生活的哲学思考也更加发人深省，海德格尔在《存在与时间》中也提到这段用于展开与存在的连接的讨论。The Forged Coupon中Maria死前温顺的眼神和对灵魂的叩问始终就缠着杀害她的凶手、无恶不作的Stepan，使他反省、皈依并在冥冥之中影响了更多人。最让我惊喜的其实是Three Deaths一篇，用死亡讲三个看似毫无关联的生灵联系在一起，无论是养尊处优的贵族女性还是一文不名的流浪汉，甚至森林深处的参天大树，最终都逃不开死亡的法则。

With an Introduction and Notes by Dr T.C.B.Cook
Count Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910) is best known for War and Peace and Anna Karenina, commonly regarded as amongst the greatest novels ever written. He also, however, wrote many masterly short stories, and this volume contains four of the longest and best in distinguished translations that have stood the test of time. In the early story 'Family Happiness', Tolstoy explores courtship and marriage from the point of view of a young wife. In 'The Kreutzer Sonata' he gives us a terrifying study of marital breakdown, in 'The Devil' a powerful depiction of the power of sexual temptation, and, in perhaps the finest of all, 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich', he portrays the long agony of a man gradually coming to terms with his own mortality.
