The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories

The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories

Tolstoy Leo

Signet
2012
pokkari
Leo Tolstoy combined detailed physical description with perceptive psychological insight to sweep aside the sham of surface appearances and lay bare man's intimate gestures, acts, and thoughts. Murder and sacrifice...greed and devotion...lust and affection...vanity and love--one by one, in this volume of great stories, Tolstoy dissects the basic drives, emotions, and motives of ordinary people searching for self-knowledge and spiritual perfection. Chekhov said, "Of authors my favorite is Tolstoy." And Turgenev "marveled at the strength of his huge talent...It sends a cold shudder even down my back...He is a master, a master." Now with a new introduction by Regina Marler and an afterword by Hugh McLean.

2013

I've an Uncle Ivan is a free-wheeling rhyme illustrated in a nostalgic 1950s style that introduces readers to Uncle Ivan, his extended family and 14 different modes of transport. Ivan has a niece on skates, who has two hitchhiking brothers. They have a cousin on a scooter, whose sister drives a Mini...And so it goes until we meet the whole family, who are travelling to a secret destination on every form of transport from unicycles to bi-planes to trams! But look more closely; in each picture there are clues to the true identity of this remarkable family and their exciting destination. The climax of this charming caper occurs when everyone descends upon the pie stand at once and chaos ensues.

The Image of Ivan the Terrible in Russian Folklore

The Image of Ivan the Terrible in Russian Folklore

Maureen Perrie

Cambridge University Press
2002
pokkari
Ivan the Terrible has long been a controversial figure. Some historians regard him as a crazed and evil tyrant; while others (especially Soviet scholars of the Stalin period) have viewed him as a progressive and far-sighted statesman. The folklore about Ivan has played an important part in these debates. Was Ivan’s depiction in folklore favourable or hostile? And how far can it be regarded as evidence of contemporary popular attitudes towards the tsar? In this unusual and far-ranging study, Maureen Perrie discusses the nature of Ivan’s image in Russian folklore; its historical basis; its development; and the controversies which have surrounded it in pre-revolutionary and Soviet Russian scholarship. She argues that Ivan was in general portrayed in folklore in a positive light, but that this image does not necessarily reflect sixteenth-century views.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Leo Tolstoy

Bantam Books Inc
1981
pokkari
Combining detailed physical description with perceptive psychological insight, Leo Tolstoy realistically sweeps aside the sham of surface appearances to lay bare man's intimate gestures, acts, and thoughts. Murder and sacrifice...greed and devotion...lust and affection...vanity and love - one by one, in this volume of great stories, Tolstoy dissects the basic drives, emotions and motives of average people searching for self-knowledge and spiritual perfection. Chekhov said, "Of coauthors my favorite is Tolstoy." And Turgenev "marveled the strength of his huge talent...It sends a cold shudder even down my back, though you know my back has become thick and course. He is a master, a master."

Before her husband's cancer diagnosis, Suzanne Anest believed she was a strong, knowledgeable, and fearless person, capable of managing a business in the healthcare industry and achieving significant financial success. However, when the time came to manage her husband's condition, Suzanne discovered she was not prepared for the challenges of his day-to-day care and the overwhelming responsibility of intricate medical decisions. Take Care of Ivan chronicles Suzanne's journey through the unforeseen chaos of cancer and the struggle to find a way to save her husband. In this empowering story, we follow Suzanne as she finds the courage to face her need to control and her self-imposed guilt, sense of inadequacy, fear, and judgment. She teaches us that in the face of devastating loss, personal transformation can lead you into a life of new possibilities.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Confession

The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Confession

Leo Tolstoy

Liveright Publishing Corporation
2015
nidottu
In the last two days of his life, Peter Carson completed these translations of The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Confession before he succumbed to cancer. Carson, the eminent publisher, editor and translator who, in the words of Mary Beard, "had probably more influence on the literary landscape of [Britain] over the past fifty years than any other single person," must have seen the irony of translating Ilyich, Tolstoy’s meditation on death and loss, "but he pressed on regardless, apparently refusing to be distracted by the parallel of literature and life." In Carson’s shimmering prose, these two transcendent works are presented in their most faithful rendering in English. Unlike previous translations that have smoothed out Tolstoy’s rough edges, Carson captures the verisimilitude and psychological realism of the original Russian text.

At Home with Ivan Vladislavic

At Home with Ivan Vladislavic

Gerald Gaylard

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
sidottu
At Home With Ivan Vladislavic is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavic. Bringing a flaneur’s "internal GPS" to postcolonial Johannesburg, Vladislavic established a critical sense of home via an intimate knowledge of geography and history. This sense of belonging can have positive ecological effects as we tend to protect what we know. The flaneur’s deep word hoard also helped him to develop a minimalist style, which was not only a means of living sustainably in the city, but in its humour and close attention to detail a way to make greening the city more of a joy than a duty. In this way, Vladislavic created a culture of sustainability.Introduction and Chapter 6 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4.0 license.
