In this first episode of a new series, Stephen Blackwood reads Leo Tolstoy’s classic novella, ‘The Death of Ivan Ilyich.’ A masterful text from one of history’s great writers, it tells the story of a man whose fatal illness forces him to confront the shallow assumptions of his life and the slowly encroaching, inevitable reality of death. ‘Ivan Ilyich’ is a timeless meditation on the fundamental content of life: finding purpose, loving others, and understanding our finitude. • The translation Stephen is reading from—easily found online, if you'd like to follow along—is by Louise and Aylmer Maude. • Links of possible interest: 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' • https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_De... • https://www.amazon.com/Death-Ivan-Ily... and elsewhere • Ralston College • https://www.ralston.ac • Ralston College Short Courses • https://www.ralston.ac/humanities-sho... • Stephen Blackwood • https://www.stephenjblackwood.com • Timeline • 0:00 - Intro • 6:19 - Chapter 1 • 27:02 - Chapter 2 • 45:47 - Chapter 3 • 1:02:45 - Chapter 4 • 1:19:29 - Chapter 5 • 1:29:25 - Chapter 6 • 1:36:46 - Chapter 7 • 1:47:08 - Chapter 8 • 2:02:46 - Chapter 9 • 2:09:29 - Chapter 10 • 2:14:47 - Chapter 11 • 2:21:28 - Chapter 12 • #RalstonCollege
