The Death of Ivan Il'ich: Bilingual Edition (English – French) | Leo Tolstoy
2 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Instead of memorizing vocabulary words, work your way through an actual well-written novel. Even novices can follow along as each individual English paragraph is paired with the corresponding French paragraph. It won't be an easy project, but you'll learn a lot.

" Ivan ilyich saw that he was dying, and he was in continual despair" this book shows that death is known before you kick the bucket...will you live your life unapologetically?

Sad, harrowing, universal. Small book in number of pages but immense in meaning. I recommend it.
"Tolstoy's book is about many things: tyranny of bourgeois niceties, the terrible weak spots of the human heart, the primacy and elision of death. But more than anything, I would offer, it is about the consequences of living without meaning, that is, without a true and abiding connection to one's life ... "(Mark Freeman)
