The Death Of Ivan Ilyich And Master And Man - Plot & Excerpts
THE DEATH OF IVAN ILYICH 1 During a break in the hearing of the Melvinski case in the great hall of the Law Courts, members of the judicial council and the public prosecutor met in Ivan Yegorovich Shebek’s private chambers. The conversation turned to the famous Krasov affair. Feodor Vassilievich grew heated demonstrating that it was not subject to jurisdiction. Ivan Yegorovich held his own. Piotr Ivanovich, who had not participated initially, took no part in the argument and leafed through the newly delivered Gazette. “Gentlemen!” he said, “Ivan Ilyich is dead.” “Not really?” “Here; read it for yourself,” he said to Feodor Vassilievich, passing him the fresh sheets, still with their own smell. The black-framed notice ran: “It is with deep regret that Praskovya Feodorovna Golovina informs relatives and friends of the death of her beloved husband, Ivan Ilyich Golovin, Member of the Court of Justice, on February the fourth of this year, 1882. The body will be laid to rest on Friday at 1 P.M.”
