Senior Center Book Discussion: The Death of Ivan Ilyich
Tuesday, November 22 @11am
Ray Rauth will lead a discussion of The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy. Usually classified as one of the finest examples of the novella form, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is both profound and provocative. Written in 1886 following Tolstoy's crisis of faith and religious conversion, the book is an examination of nothing less than the meaning of life and of death. The group meets at the Senior Center at Comstock Community Center, 180 School Road, Wilton. Call (203) 834-6240
