"This is a wonderful story. It makes you think about death and consequently life. I thought about what is important in life and why it is important. The only thing I didn't like about it was not knowing what disease killed Ivan Ilyich. It is not important but I am really curious about what it could be."
"Actually, I didn't read this book--I read a separate edition of "The Forged Coupon", but this is what came up when I tried to add it. The story was depressing and awry; sort of a pass-it-on depravity of man kind of story. One young man's sin leads to other sins in others' lives and much sadness and evil.
I am also disturbed by Tolstoy's summary of the gospel as "love others as brothers". Jesus didn't die on the cross for that creed. Tolstoy's faith journeyis something I'd like to learn more about."
"This isn't a volume that I actually read but it contains several of the individual works I read so I am using it as a way to comment on the reading.
The Forged Coupon Add an extra "1" to a negotiable coupon and start a chain of foul deeds ... evil begetting evil. A great short novel. Tolstoy, as usual, is the most approachable of the Russian authors."
